Popular around Timmendorfer Strand
The Aalbeekniederung is a wonderful nature reserve and, compared to the beach promenade, usually quite deserted even in summer. If you want to hike from Timmendorfer Strand to Niendorf (or vice versa) and not just back and forth along the beach, this little detour is highly recommended to make a "loop". Attention: If it has rained a lot, parts of the paths will be covered in deep puddles/mud and - depending on your own standards - impassable. (The Aalbeekniederung is located below sea level...)
