The burial forest provides a reverent peace... I find the idea of burial forests very beautiful... May many people find their final resting place in nature.

A place for quiet reflection, part of the Küstenfrieden burial forest... From here there is a beautiful view of the coast towards Eckernförde.

There are many piers along the water here. Most of them are off-limits. You need to be aware of that.

It is always worth hiking in the area of the Schlei, like here at the narrowest point of the Schlei, and enjoying the peace and quiet while hiking and listening to the birds.

The Schlei Nature Park is the northernmost of its kind in Germany. The Schlei region is a true natural paradise and home to numerous animal and plant species. With a unique mix of freshwater, brackish, and saltwater habitats, embedded in a diverse cultural landscape, it offers extraordinary diversity. The cultural landscape of the Schlei has been significantly shaped by the people who live and farm here. Today, the Schlei separates two very different landscapes: Angeln and Schwansen. The hilly landscape of Angeln is particularly characterized by small-scale agriculture and a dense hedgerow structure. The nature park was established in 2008 and covers an area of 500 square kilometers. You can find more information here: https://nationale-naturlandschaften.de/gebiete/naturpark-schlei-2.
