Magnificent view back towards Eckernförde and across Eckernförde Bay... however, the path is not very nice... there are prettier beaches along the bay, which are also quieter.

After the burial forest, the path leads directly along the cliff edge, offering magnificent views across Eckernförde Bay... After storms, it can happen that sections of the coast are washed away and the path is temporarily no longer there.

The scenery is beautiful here. After some relaxation, there's a beautiful wall section with a good elevation gain.

We just wanted to go to the crazy house. Admission is €5 per person in 2025. But you have to pay extra for the park entrance! So with four adults, you only pay for the crazy house you want to visit, €82! Technically, it would be possible to create a separate entrance to the house. You have to get a separate coin at the ticket office to enter the house. The park is fenced in, and the house is also fenced in separately within the park, and can only be visited with a special chip or coin... Sorry, I meant it but didn't know how...
