In the west of the Baltic Sea island of Poel lies the coastal town of Timmendorf, where fishermen and farmers settled as early as the Middle Ages. The place was first mentioned in 1257 and is now divided into two districts. These are the district of Timmendorf, which extends a good one kilometer inland, and the district of Timmendorf Strand, which lies directly on the water. The cliffs stretch south of the port of Timmendorf Strand. From the seafront, the footpath leads down into a strip of coastal forest above the cliff. From the path, numerous accesses lead to the steep bank. So you can look far out at the Wismar Bay and the Baltic Sea and overlook the sometimes quite bizarre, steep slopes and the narrow beach at the foot of the cliff. As this cliff is located in the west of the island, the walk is particularly attractive, while the golden rays of the evening sun envelop the cliff in a warm light and a little later a glowing red sunset is reflected on the waves. https://www.sehenswertes-discoveren.de/Orte/Timmendorf-Insel-Poel/Steilkueste/index.php

South of the Baltic Sea island of Poel and north of the Hanseatic city of Wismar lies the 8.65 hectare island of Walfisch, almost in the middle of the Wismar Bay. It is about 500 m long and about 300 m wide, very flat and a habitat for many sea and shore birds, which find enough rest here to nest and breed undisturbed by people. Walfisch is quite inaccessible in the Baltic Sea, so that a wonderful bird sanctuary could develop here. Trespassing is also strictly prohibited in order to ensure that the island continues to be an outstanding paradise for the feathered animals, which find a rich saline flora as a valuable food source in the shallow and often flooded shore areas. Walfisch is looked after ornithologically by the Langenwerder e.V. association, which also looks after the island of Langenwerder north of Poel and has recorded breeding pairs of oystercatchers, mute swans, greylag geese, cormorants and eider ducks on Walfisch, as well as gulls and terns, which live in entire colonies populate the island. https://www.insel-und-kueste.de/deutsche-insel/ostsee-insel/walfisch/

A beautiful path with great views runs above the cliffs. Due to break-offs and underwashing, this is not entirely harmless. Don't step too close to the edge! There is also a lot to see on the beach. Again, be careful on the slope and in the washouts.
