Haffkrug, probably the oldest seaside resort in the Bay of Lübeck, used to be a fishing village - and you can still see that today. Since the 1970s it has been a seaside health resort that has retained the pleasant calm of the fishermen. In the middle of a rural idyll, this Baltic Sea resort lies on a white powder sand beach and on the promenade you will find small stone sea creatures between thatched pavilions that remind you of the origins of the place.

One of the typical fine sandy Baltic Sea beaches with beach chair rentals, numerous restaurants and the entire tourist infrastructure. Very positive: paths for cyclists and pedestrians are separate.

Very beautiful Baltic Sea beach, good cycling and hiking trails. In addition, restaurants are always nearby. That's why it's sometimes full.
