About the spot

Rettin lies east of Pelzerhaken on a smaller Lübeck Bay beach. Depending on weather, water is flat, choppy or affected by small waves. Limited entry space favours independent riders with reliable control.

Summer swimmers reduce usable room. Identify sports and bathing zones before rigging; an empty car park does not establish kite permission. Allow for nearshore obstacles and adequate landing space.
