The hike leads through the soothing shade of the forest, which invites you to dream with its gentle rustling and the sounds of the local wildlife. Then, unexpectedly, the trees thin out and the view opens up far over the shimmering Baltic Sea. These moments, when the forest retreats and the sea comes to the fore, are what make this hike an unforgettable experience. Not only nature lovers will be thrilled by this path. Anyone interested in architecture and history will get their money's worth at the Granitz hunting lodge. An impressive testimony to bygone times that is harmoniously embedded in the surrounding nature. Thanks to the “Rasenden Roland”, a nostalgic narrow-gauge railway whose whistle can be heard in the distance, you can easily get back to the starting point. A charming detail that gives hikers the feeling of having traveled to another era for a short time. And although the high bank hiking trail has its charms in every season, it takes on a new look with every change in the weather. In spring, when the first flowers sprout and the forest comes to life. In summer, when the sun turns the sea into a glittering spectacle. In autumn, when the leaves shine in all colors and the wind brings a fresh breeze. And in winter, when the silence of the snow is only broken by the crunch of your own footsteps.
