Discover Rettin on the Baltic Coast

Rettin combines a distinctive Baltic coastal landscape with opportunities for walks, bike rides and varied days on holiday. A promenade leads past the Rettin meadows and a wooded cliff. There is also a more than eight-kilometre-long promenade along the Baltic Coast, a section of the Baltic Coast Cycle Route and the small pier, where cormorants pause on its wooden planks. Those looking for accommodation in Rettin can choose the area according to their own interests, between coastal scenery, activity and relaxed observation.

Coastal landscape between the beach and former cliff

The “Coastal Landscape between Pelzerhaken and Rettin” FFH area covers 100.00 ha. Its landscape includes a beach landscape with a former, now wooded cliff, a former lagoon depression currently used as grassland, and a coastal dune and beach-ridge system. A beach in front of the shoreline is also part of this area. Those who want to experience the beach, wooded cliff or dune landscape will find different types of scenery here for planning their day.

If you value observing nature and changing landscapes during your trip, it is worth taking a look at the coastal landscape between Pelzerhaken and Rettin. The visitor map shows a hiking trail and a cycle path near Rettin. This makes it possible to choose according to your preferred focus: you can explore the area on foot or include a bike ride in your plans without having to combine both interests.

Strolling and cycling by the Baltic Sea

The more than eight-kilometre-long promenade connects Neustadt in Holstein with the Baltic resorts of Pelzerhaken and Rettin. For a stay in Rettin, it provides orientation for anyone planning a longer route along the Baltic Coast. When planning your day, take the promenade’s total length into account and choose the scope of your outing according to your own preferences.

The area also offers cyclists a direct connection to the regional network of routes: the Baltic Coast Cycle Route has a section from Rettin to Neustadt in Holstein. This makes it possible to incorporate Rettin into a trip where not only one location but also the connections between coastal towns play a role. Anyone wishing to compare several destinations can also visit Pelzerhaken.

Variety for your stay

One of the special local attractions is the Coastman's Fun & Adventure Golf course in Rettin, which offers mini-golf. This can be an activity in its own right as part of your daily programme or a change of pace from walks and bike rides. Another distinctive spot is the small pier. Cormorants pause on its wooden planks, creating a maritime moment of observation that is closely connected with the character of the place.

When looking for a hotel or other accommodation in Rettin, you can therefore first consider which experiences should define your stay. The coastal landscape with its former cliff and beach-ridge system appeals to different interests than the Baltic Coast Cycle Route or a round of mini-golf. Those who like to keep various options open will find several specific themes for planning their own trip in the promenade, the signposted routes, the pier and the different landscapes.
