Hiking
The stones in the sand and clay are particularly interesting, they stand out different ones.

Hiking
The steep coastline in the north of Poel Island stretches between Timmendorf Beach and Gollwitz and forms one of the island's most striking landscape features. It is a prime example of the Baltic Sea's sculptural power, constantly reshaping the coastline through wind, waves, and rain.
The subsoil consists primarily of glacial till, clay, and sand deposited during the Weichselian glaciation. Erosion regularly causes small collapses, with material from the upper slopes plunging into the sea. These processes result in the coastline retreating slightly each year. Visitors should therefore avoid the edge of the cliffs and stay on the designated paths.
