Wittenbeck: Kühlung, Natural Beach and Golf

Wittenbeck combines the Kühlung nature reserve, the natural beach north of the village, and golfing with two courses. When planning a stay, you can therefore consider different priorities: hiking routes in the Kühlung excursion area, the coastal landscape, or a round of golf. If you are looking for hotels in Wittenbeck, you can first consider which of these aspects is most important for your travel plans.

Landscape between Kühlung and the coast

Wittenbeck borders the “Kühlung” nature reserve to the southwest. The “Kühlung” forest offers excellent recreational value and is a popular destination for day trips among residents and visitors. Many hiking routes in the Kühlung excursion area start in Wittenbeck. Two aspects are relevant for orientation: the border location describes Wittenbeck’s position in relation to the protected area, while the route information identifies the village as the starting point for many hikes in the excursion area.

The Wittenbeck natural beach lies north of the village. The beach at Wittenbeck is about 2.5 kilometres long, and its cliffs reach approximately 4 to 8 metres in height. These approximate figures describe different features: the length of the beach and the height of the cliffs. This provides a clearer picture of the coastal landscape. The forest and hiking routes on one side, and the beach and cliffs on the other, offer different landscape highlights to consider when planning a trip.

Golf courses with different profiles

Golf Resort Wittenbeck has two courses with a total of 27 holes and covers about 86 hectares. The 18-hole Eikhof championship course (Par 72) is a challenge for ambitious players. The public 9-hole Höstingen course (Par 56) has a golf school and a practice facility with pitching and chipping areas. The courses therefore differ in both their number of holes and par, as well as in their stated focus: Eikhof is described as a challenge, while Höstingen is distinguished by its school and practice areas. When planning which course to play, you can weigh these details according to the amount of golf you want to play and your interest in practising. If you are planning a visit to Höstingen, check its current operating status beforehand.

Information about angling

Visitors interested in angling can also find a specific point of contact: at Schote's Angelturm in Wittenbeck, visitors can get information about angling and fishing licences. This adds another topic to information about hiking trails, the coast and golf. If angling is of interest to you, you will find a useful point of reference here for your plans.

A regional perspective on Rostock

The historic Molli narrow-gauge railway is another regional attraction in the wider Rostock destination. It runs between Kühlungsborn and Bad Doberan and is the oldest narrow-gauge railway on the Baltic coast. With its rare track gauge of 900 millimetres, the seaside railway has shaped the look of the Baltic coast since 1886. Its route, track gauge and history give the railway its own distinctive profile within the wider destination.
