Dahme: Coastal Promenade, Outdoor Activities and Water Sports

Dahme has a clear focus when choosing a place to stay: the coast, outdoor activities and water sports. The 1.5-kilometre-long beach promenade, opportunities for cycling and walking, and activities offered by a local surf school give you different options for planning your day. If you’re looking for a hotel in Dahme, you can first decide whether the promenade and its leisure activities or active excursions are more important to you.

Beach Promenade and Leisure Activities

The beach promenade runs alongside low dunes, remains open towards the beach and offers uninterrupted views of the water. At 1.5 kilometres long, it provides a tangible framework for planning walks or other activities along the coast. You can plan the promenade as a walk in its own right or as a focal point for a day outdoors.

There are two playgrounds, a trampoline and mini-golf area, a tennis court, an inline skating track, and playing fields for beach volleyball, football and basketball right by the promenade. The promenade’s surface is suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs, scooters and inline skates. As facilities may change, check the latest information if you’re interested in a particular one.

Getting Around by Bike, on Foot or on Skates

Coastal cycling includes rides towards the Dahmeshöved lighthouse and sections of the Baltic Sea Cycle Route. On foot, you can enjoy walks and Nordic walking through coastal landscapes; inline skating is possible on the dyke service road as far as Rosenfelde. The options can be grouped by how you get around: cycling, walking or skating each offer a different focus for your day. When planning a specific outing, check the route conditions, as they can change.

A local surf school offers water sports for beginners and experienced participants. The disciplines on offer may vary. If you have a particular sport in mind, check in advance what is currently available.

Fish and Places to Eat Along the Promenade

There are fish stalls selling fresh fish, as well as cafés and restaurants along the promenade. Individual businesses and their offerings may change; if a particular place to eat matters to you, check what’s currently available in advance. On World Fish Sandwich Day, the fish stalls may also offer creations featuring Matjes and eel.

Ostholstein: More Regional Highlights

The wider destination of Ostholstein also includes cultural and nature-based attractions in other towns. Every summer, the Eutin Festival presents different opera or operetta performances as open-air events. The Ostholstein Museum in Eutin features changing exhibitions and a permanent exhibition about Eutin during its heyday around 1800. On Fehmarn, the Wallnau Waterbird Reserve has a one-kilometre nature trail through the protected area. These regional examples differ from Dahme’s coastal profile: they range from open-air culture and a museum to a trail through a protected area. So when choosing Dahme as your destination, you can also consider the different attractions across Ostholstein.
