Kalkhorst: Baltic Coast, Nature and History

Kalkhorst amid the Baltic Coast, Nature and History

If you are looking for a place with coastal scenery, cycle paths, walking routes and regional history for your trip to the Baltic Sea, Kalkhorst offers several different points of interest. Nature experiences range from the natural beach and coastal route to guided discovery tours. At the same time, the church, castle park and exhibitions shape the cultural side of the town. These themes place different emphases on history and architecture, observing nature, cycling or walking through the countryside. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore already consider whether historic insights, active days or peaceful experiences in nature should be the main focus for you.

Culture and History in Kalkhorst

The St. Lawrence Church in Kalkhorst has stood at its present location since the 13th century and features a Baroque altar dating from 1708. The church and pavilion represent different historical focal points: the church reflects the town's long history, while the pavilion represents the history associated with Schliemann. The Schliemann Pavilion is located in the parish garden of the Kalkhorst parish. It is associated with Heinrich Schliemann, who is said to have studied there as a schoolboy. The restored octagonal building is presented as a local attraction.

At the minimare Discovery Park in Kalkhorst, young and old can experience 1,000 years of Mecklenburg history in a playful, vivid and hands-on way across nine themed parks. The multifunctional building in the minimare Discovery Park houses a shell museum. Kalkhorst Castle offers a different landscape impression: it is surrounded by a 13-hectare castle park designed in the style of an English landscape garden.

Nature, Coast and Trails

Regular beach walks and discovery tours take place at Fischerkaten Nature Station. Fischerkaten Nature Station is ideally connected to the Baltic Sea Cycle Route and can be reached by cyclists directly along the coastal route. This makes it possible to combine cycling with a nature-focused visit at a specific location. This also creates a clear plan for an active day: the coastal route can determine the way by bicycle, while guided walks and tours provide a guided experience along the coast.

The natural beach in the former coastal border strip near Fischerkaten Nature Station is part of the European Natura 2000 network of protected areas. In the Kalkhorst area, former patrol roads also invite you to cycle, while beaches and natural avenues are ideal for extended walks. They also offer views and sunsets. Anyone exploring the area by bicycle will experience it differently than on an extended walk; these paths, beaches and avenues can therefore be included according to your preferred pace and impression of the landscape.
