Wittenbeck: Natural Beach, Kühlung and Golf
Accommodation in Wittenbeck
If you want to choose between beaches, forest trails and golf on the Baltic Sea, Wittenbeck offers several different starting points for planning your holiday. The Wittenbeck natural beach lies north of the village. To the southwest, Wittenbeck borders the “Kühlung” landscape conservation area, and many hiking routes in the Kühlung excursion area begin here.

Beach and Coastal Landscape
Wittenbeck’s beach is about 2.5 kilometres long. Its cliff coast is approximately 4 to 8 metres high. These length and height figures give the coastal stretch a tangible sense of scale, while the cliffs are a defining feature of the landscape. If you are looking for coastal scenery in particular for your Baltic Sea trip, these features may influence your choice of destination. Wittenbeck’s natural beach lies north of the village and offers another clear point of reference for guests whose interests are focused on the coast.
Hiking in Kühlung
The “Kühlung” forest offers excellent opportunities for recreation and is a popular excursion destination for residents and visitors. Wittenbeck borders the “Kühlung” landscape conservation area to the southwest. Many hiking routes in the excursion area begin in Wittenbeck, making the village a relevant starting point for hikers. If you like to consider different trails when planning your trip, this connection between the village and the excursion area offers a concrete point of reference. No details about the length or difficulty of individual routes are implied; the key point here is that many hiking routes start in Wittenbeck.
Golf Courses with Different Profiles
Golf Resort Wittenbeck has two courses with a total of 27 holes and covers approximately 86 hectares. The two courses differ in the number of holes, par and the character described. The 18-hole Eikhof championship course is par 72 and is considered a challenge for ambitious players. If you want to plan your golf trip around a demanding championship course, this offers a concrete point of reference when making your choice.
The public 9-hole Höstingen course is par 56. It includes a golf school and a practice facility with pitching and chipping areas. This means that, alongside the championship course, there is also a public course and designated practice areas to consider as distinct golfing options. When planning your trip, you can weigh whether you would rather focus on the 18-hole Eikhof course or Höstingen’s 9-hole course and the practice facilities mentioned there. Their different profiles make golf a distinct reason to include Wittenbeck in your selection of Baltic Sea destinations.

At Schote's Angelturm in Wittenbeck, visitors can get information about angling and fishing licences. This is an additional point of interest for guests who would like to learn about fishing. Together with the beach, Kühlung and golf, it offers a range of interests to help you decide what should be the defining focus of your trip.
