Weißenhäuser Strand: Sandy Beach and Leisure Activities

Weißenhäuser Strand combines a three-kilometre-long sandy beach with a holiday park that brings together beach recreation and several named swimming, adventure, wellness, fitness and water sports attractions. This makes it possible to experience the destination from several perspectives: the beach is a focus in its own right, while the holiday park’s facilities cater to a range of leisure interests. When planning your trip, it helps to distinguish between the attractions by their character and consider what you want to shape your stay.

Sandy Beach and Leisure Activities

The three-kilometre-long sandy beach is a clear point of reference for anyone who wants to centre their stay around the beach. The holiday park also offers the Subtropical Swimming Paradise, Adventure Jungleland, the Dünenbad with wellness and fitness facilities, and a Waterpark with wakeboarding and water skiing. These attractions cover different interests: swimming, adventure, wellness and fitness, and water sports. If you already know what kind of leisure activities matter to you, you can include these attractions more purposefully in your travel plans. Facilities and services may change, so check what is available for your planned travel dates before you go.

Dune Landscape and Nature Conservation

Weißenhäuser Brök is a distinct focus for landscape and nature conservation. It lies in the southeast of Hohwacht Bay and is one of the largest dune areas on the Schleswig-Holstein Baltic coast. An area of 57 hectares was designated a nature reserve in 1942; the area is also part of the Natura 2000 network. The landscape includes various dune formations, dry dune grassland and heath vegetation. Its diverse flora and fauna also include highly endangered species. The three kilometres refer to the length of the sandy beach; the 57 hectares refer to the area of the designated nature reserve. These are different measurements: a stretch of coastline and a protected area. You can therefore think of the beach and dune landscape as separate focuses for your stay.

Brök cannot be reduced to a single type of dune landscape: alongside different dune formations, it includes dry dune grassland and heath vegetation. Together with its diverse flora and fauna, this creates a nature-focused experience distinct from the beach and leisure activities. The species that can be observed may vary with the seasons. For travellers interested in coastal landscapes and their flora and fauna, Brök offers a tangible connection to nature.

Restaurants and Cafés

The holiday park’s dining options include an Italian osteria, the Sonnenrose speciality restaurant, as well as other restaurants, bistros, bars and cafés. The osteria has an Italian focus; Sonnenrose is described as a speciality restaurant. Other types of dining are also available. If you plan to visit a particular restaurant during your trip, check the current selection, as it may change.
