    Between the Baltic Sea and Hemmelsdorfer Lake lie the Aalbeek lowlands, a beautiful and adventurous-looking nature reserve. The 14 km long route takes you along a specially developed hiking path. Both the rustic Niendorf harbor and the Hemmelsdorfer fishery farm with its fish smokehouse, as well as the ascent of the Hermann Löns Tower, which offers a beautiful panoramic view over the Hemmelsdorfer path all the way to Lübeck, are part of this route.

    Author’s recommendation

    A visit to Wolkenlos on the Tea House Pier offers you an invaluable view of the Baltic Sea. You will be talking about it for a long time!

    Safety information

    Depending on the weather, paths in the nature reserve area may become muddy.

    Tips and suggestions

    Some paths – especially in the Aalbeek lowlands – can possibly be shortened by small shortcuts and bridges.

    Roadbook

    The "Old Town Hall" at Timmendorfer Platz is both your starting and ending point. From here, the beach promenade takes you to the Tea House Pier and the Café Wolkenlos. Here you have a great view of the Bay of Lübeck. Along the promenade, the path leads you further to Niendorf, along the harbor, all the way to the Niendorf Bird Park. Here you enter the nature reserve around Hemmelsdorfer Lake. The Hermann Löns Viewpoint is an absolute must! Climb the observation tower and enjoy the view of the lake. Further through the nature reserve, this section ends at the fishery farm in Hemmelsdorf. Here is time and the perfect place for a break.
    Freshly energized, head off to the last part of the route - past a farm and through Klein Timmendorf you return to the center of Timmendorfer Strand, where you can end your hike in one of the many cafés, restaurants - or simply on the wide sandy beach.
