Gammendorf: Coast, Niobe Memorial and Bike Service

Gammendorf offers several clearly identified coastal and landmark sites that can be grouped according to different travel interests. If you are looking for a hotel on Fehmarn, they can help you decide what you want to focus on during your stay.

Gammendorf Beach and the Niobe Memorial

Gammendorf Beach lies on Fehmarn’s north coast and is better known to anglers as Teichhof. Thus, Teichhof is the name anglers use for the same beach. At Gammendorf Beach, a mast commemorates the tragic end of the crew of the Niobe sailing training ship; the Niobe Memorial is also located there, in Gammendorf. The name used by anglers and the memorial provide two different points of reference for the beach: a name used by anglers and a specific memorial marker.

Pavilion and information point

The publicly accessible, wheelchair-accessible Niobe information and shelter pavilion is located at the Gammendorf car park. It is a stopping point for cyclists, hikers and groups. The pavilion provides shelter from wind and weather, seating and information about nature, the coastal landscape and coastal protection. Cyclists can use free e-bike charging points and an ADAC bicycle service station for minor repairs. Several practical functions come together in the same pavilion: a sheltered place to sit, information about coastal topics and bicycle services. The charging points are for e-bikes, while the service station is for minor repairs.

Another landmark is the information point in Gammendorf, which is open around the clock and offers free information materials. It differs from the pavilion in its clearly stated combination of continuous opening hours and free materials. The pavilion combines information about nature, the coastal landscape and coastal protection with shelter from the weather, seating and bicycle services. If you are looking for one of these functions in particular, you can distinguish between the two places by what each offers.

Grüner Brink and Beltbude

On Fehmarn, there is a designated dog beach at Grüner Brink in the north of the island. The fine sandy beach is about 300 metres east of Beltbude. Beltbude has a car park, a kiosk and a toilet. It also offers snacks, cocktails, selected gin and tonics, coffee, non-alcoholic drinks and beer, as well as beach chair rentals. The approximate distance and direction locate the dog beach relative to Beltbude; the facilities and offerings listed are associated with Beltbude.

Playground in Gammendorf

There is a small playground in Gammendorf between Beltbude and the Baltic Sea. Its location is described in relation to these two named landmarks.

When deciding where to go, you can compare different interests: at Gammendorf Beach, the name used by anglers and the Niobe memorial come together, while the pavilion combines coastal information with bicycle services. The information point is distinguished by being open around the clock and offering free information materials. This can help you decide which of these local attractions are relevant to your stay on Fehmarn.
