Child-friendly leisure beach with large bathtub
In front of our campsite, after crossing a road, there is a natural beach with a wide shallow water zone and sandbanks that dry out at low tide. The water is always 2° warmer due to the shallow depth and the bay is particularly sheltered from the wind. This is ideal for (water) walking and for little mermaids and mermen as well as non-swimmers. Enjoy the Baltic Sea in a very special way at ostseequelle.camp.
The fine sandy beach invites you to sunbathe. Beach chairs can be hired on site.
The tides and the many sandbanks also provide lots of fun and space for all those who love digging and sandcastles.
Tidal activity with a tidal range of approx. 20 cm is still detectable, but is usually overlaid by wind-dependent water level fluctuations. As a general rule, the water level falls with south-westerly winds and rises with north-easterly winds. Water level fluctuations of over 1 metre have been observed within a few hours.
But swimmers and recreational water sports enthusiasts don’t miss out here either. After an average of around 50 metres (depending on the water level), the water becomes deeper and it is possible to swim in deeper water. For sailors and families with boats, the marina in Boltenhagen or Marina Hohen Wieschendorf are ideal moorings.
For sure-footed hikers, we recommend the option along the beach, around the Huk, to Hohen Wieschendorf. From the Liebeslaube campsite, you have the option of walking along the beach below or on the cliff top. From the top you have a great view of the bay. You can quickly cool off underneath or have your feet massaged by pebbles;-) On the way, you can stop for refreshments at Little Italy at Marina Hohen Wieschendorf before starting the return journey via Beckerwitz. Allow about 3-4 hours.

The natural paradise
Welcome to the region around the Wohlenberger Wiek, which has long been an insider tip for many day trippers on holiday.
The last ice age created a distinctive coastal landscape here. Here you will find gently rolling hills, small mixed tree and floodplain forests, pearl necklaces of pollarded willows along meadows, streams, bridges, ponds and field edges, densely vegetated ponds and lakes, meadows strewn with flowers and – of course – the Baltic Sea. The soil is fertile and the landscape provides breeding and resting places for thousands of waterfowl on their annual migration southwards. The Wohlenberger Wiek is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.
This includes a large number of bird species such as grey geese, grey herons, corvids, gulls, terns, whooper swans, mute swans and green ducks in a picturesque nature reserve with romantic sandy beaches, stony sandy sections, dunes and cliffs. The marvellous natural beach stretches along the water; wooded steep banks alternate with flat beach zones. Ornithologists have a great time here, especially in the quieter low season of June and September.
Anglers love to come on holiday to the Wohlenberger Wiek year after year to fish for carp, eel, flounder, perch, zander, pike or lead in the fish-rich Baltic Sea area and inland waters. There are always a few anglers at the pier on the Wiek. Further information for recreational anglers.
You can savour the delicious fish from the Baltic Sea at the smokehouse snack bar between the beach and Wohlenberg Mole. More catering.
Bordered by the curved beach of the Baltic Sea, situated between the tourist centres of Boltenhagen and Wismar, this region has retained an unspoilt nature that is rarely found – a paradise for hikers, families with children and bathers. Here you will find peace and quiet and – after a short journey – a variety of sights and leisure activities. Experience the Baltic Sea in a genuine, natural and unspoilt way.
Leisure Paradise Wohlenberger Wiek
Fitness holidaymakers will find golf courses, tennis courts, sports and leisure centres, an extensive network of cycle paths and many a secluded fishing spot. Horse farms are also waiting for new guests. Feel free to look around here.
The importance of seagrass for the Baltic Sea ecosystem
The Baltic Sea, one of the most fascinating bodies of water in our world, holds many secrets and treasures beneath its calm surface. One of these mostly hidden treasures is seagrass, a plant that is often overlooked but has an enormous impact on the health and diversity of this sea. After a storm and a strong swell, we get to see seagrass on the beach of the Wohlenberger Wiek.
What is seagrass?
Seagrass is a group of flowerless plants that grow underwater in salty waters. In the Baltic Sea, it is mainly species such as true seagrass (Zostera marina) and narrow-leaved seagrass (Zostera angustifolia) that dominate the underwater landscape. These plants form dense meadows that spread out on the seabed.
The multiple benefits of seagrass:
1. environmental protection: seagrass meadows play a crucial role in protecting coastlines. They mitigate erosion by slowing down waves and trapping sediments. This helps protect coasts from storm surges and sea level rise.
2. habitat and food source: These underwater meadows provide an important habitat for numerous species, including fish, crustaceans and mussels. Many fish species use seagrass as a nursery for their young.
3. water quality: seagrass plays a crucial role in improving water quality. The plants filter nutrients from the water and help maintain the ecological balance in the Baltic Sea.
Climate change: Seagrass also plays a role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and converting it into biomass. This helps to reduce the greenhouse effect.
The positive aspect: no dirt or waste
A remarkable aspect of seagrass is that it is generally free of dirt or waste. Unlike plastic and other debris often found in the oceans, seagrass is a natural element of the ecosystem. It does not pollute the waters, but helps to keep them clean and healthy. After it washes up on beaches, it is removed over the summer season after a few weeks during beach cleaning. In winter it helps to prevent erosion of the coast. This ensures that we can enjoy a beautiful wide sandy beach. Without the removal of the seaweed, the beach could completely overgrow, as you can see in the direction of Wohlenberg.
Over time, awareness of the importance of seagrasses in the Baltic Sea and other marine ecosystems has increased significantly. Efforts to conserve and restore seagrass beds are being stepped up worldwide as more and more people recognise the essential role these plants play in our environment.
In the Baltic Sea and elsewhere, it is important to promote seagrass conservation to preserve the ecological health of these fragile waters. Seagrass is not only beautiful to look at, but a valuable ally in our efforts to protect and preserve the seas and coasts.
