About the spot

Haffkrug has a sandy, heavily visited shoreline on western Lübeck Bay. Wind from the sea produces chop or waves. RIDE lists kite use, but the actual beach zoning determines access.

Summer crowds leave limited line space. Confirm the sports corridor with the centre or beach staff; avoid the pier and bathing areas. Independent launches require dependable upwind riding and a clear landing area.
