Hemmelsdorfer See Boardwalk

Ostholstein  >  Germany

This short boardwalk is in the village of Hemmelsdorf right next to a popular restaurant. Lovely in early morning, before the crowds arrive.

Description

The Hemmelsdorfer See is a lake that has many different water birds, depending on the time of year. Breeding birds include Lebădă de vară, Rață pestriță, Lișiță and Corcodel mare. Other birds that are observerd regularly are Pescăraș albastru, Codalb, Erete de stuf, Lăcar de stuf, Lăcar mare, Gușă vânătă and Pițigoi de stuf. During migration you can observe birds like Pescăruș mic, Uligan pescar, Chirighiță neagră and Rață cu cap castaniu.

Coolest one I've seen were Ferestraș mic in winter and I heard Grangur in the trees in summer. The boardwalk goes out into the lake and along the reeds. Also great spot for landscape photography.

Access

The Hemmelsdorfer See is located north of Lübeck in the immediate vicinity of the Baltic Sea. The restaurant has a small parking lot, in which you can get a spot very early in the morning. . Otherwise there is a free, public parking area available a little further down the road, which I marked as the trail head. Click on a P in the map for directions.
