Kronsgaard on the Open Baltic Sea Coast

Kronsgaard is a destination with a natural beach on the open Baltic Sea. When planning your trip, the time of year, the individual beach access points and seasonal rules all play a role.

The Natural Beach Throughout the Year

The natural stretch of beach is three kilometres long. Swimming is possible in summer, walks are possible at any time of year, and the view extends towards the Danish South Sea. This means different priorities may shape the timing of your trip: if swimming is your main aim, take the summer season into account; if you are planning beach walks, you can enjoy this activity all year round. The combination of the open Baltic Sea, natural beach and views towards the Danish South Sea captures Kronsgaard’s coastal character.

Beach Access and Facilities

Bicycle racks are available at every beach access point. Signposted parking areas are located in Golsmaas, Seeblick, Pottloch and on Dänische Straße. Toilets are available in Pottloch and Drecht; a beach wheelchair is located at the DLRG building in Hasselberg. The facilities are available at different named locations, so plan according to the services that matter to you. As availability may change, check the local facilities before setting off.

Horse Riding and Seasonal Rules

Horse riding is permitted on the horse-riding beach between the main entrance at Pottloch and the Golsmaas holiday home area. Seasonal rules apply to this stretch of beach; check the requirements for your travel dates before your trip. Rules for bringing dogs are also seasonal and should be checked before travelling. If you are planning to ride or bring a dog, factor these seasonal requirements directly into your preparations.

Schleswig-Flensburg in the Wider Region

Beyond the coastal theme, the wider Schleswig-Flensburg destination offers other nature and history highlights. Geltinger Birk covers 773 hectares and is the largest nature reserve in Schleswig-Flensburg district. Well-developed paths and guided walks offer insights into the local flora and fauna. More than 130 bird species can be observed on Holnis, including around 65 breeding species. The Schlei Nature Park is also characterised by gentle hills, forests, hedgerow landscapes, rapeseed and grain fields, sandy beaches and swimming coves; its brackish-water areas provide habitats for numerous endangered bird species. Schleswig-Flensburg’s cultural heritage includes Haithabu and the Danewerk, which have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since June 2018. More than 25 kilometres of the Danewerk rampart still remain today. The wider destination also offers plenty of ways to get active: the 25-kilometre SchleiUferTörn is a circular cycling route around the central part of the Schlei and starts in Arnis. Guided nature tours are offered in the Schlei Nature Park; the Viking-Frisian Way, the Ochsenweg and 15 signposted themed cycle routes also run through the landscape. The wider destination’s leisure attractions also include Tolk-Schau, with rides, playgrounds, park railways, fairy-tale cottages and more than 100 life-size dinosaurs.
