Püttsee: Natural Beach, Surfing and Running Route

When planning a stay in Püttsee on Fehmarn, you can choose between clearly distinct activities: jogging a 12.0-kilometre out-and-back route or enjoying water sports at the surf spot. The natural beach and the area’s connection to nature complement these sporting highlights. When planning your trip, the route and the local rules for surfing and kitesurfing are especially important. The different interests lead to different day plans: a jogging route with a specified total distance, water sports with a check of the rules beforehand, or a stay in which the area’s connection to nature plays a role.

Jogging route around Püttsee

The Petersdorf–Orth–Püttsee running route is 12.0 km long and follows an out-and-back format. It runs from Petersdorf via Kopendorf and Sulsdorf to Orth, then returns via Püttsee. The starting point is Petersdorf; Püttsee lies on the return leg. Along the way, the route follows the dike with views of Flügger Lighthouse and passes between fields and meadows. This lets you plan your run around both the total distance and the sequence of places along the way. The landscape features add specific sections to the kilometre count: the dike with views of the lighthouse, and stretches between fields and meadows.

The route is accessible by car or bicycle. Surface and access conditions may change, so check the route details before your trip. The 12.0 km includes the outward and return legs. To plan your time, you can compare the total distance with your running pace. The distance and sequence of places answer different planning questions: How long is the route, and which places does it pass through?

Surfing, kitesurfing and the natural beach

A municipal surfing guide dated April 19, 2007, describes the Püttsee surf spot as suitable for surfers and kitesurfers. If you plan to take part in either activity, check the local rules beforehand. This makes preparing for local requirements a direct part of your water-sports planning.

At Püttsee’s natural beach, you can take your surfboard out on the water; parking is available right by the beach. These are two useful points to know when visiting the beach: the opportunity to use a surfboard and the location of the parking. If you’re arriving by car, the nearby parking may be relevant to your plans.

The area’s connection to nature may also play a role in choosing where to stay. Parts of the Püttsee district on Fehmarn lie within a nature reserve covering around 395 hectares. The figure refers to the protected area; the connection to Püttsee concerns parts of the district. For nature enthusiasts, this context adds another consideration when choosing a destination, alongside the sporting opportunities.

You can use these differences to help make your decision: the running route has a total distance and a sequence of named places; for water sports, checking the local rules is part of the preparation. At the natural beach, surfing and nearby parking are the key features. This makes it possible to include jogging and water sports in your day plan according to different criteria, while the area’s connection to nature offers another perspective on Püttsee.
