About the spot

The Zwergerlinsel access has a small gravel beach and a longer equipment carry. Thermal northerlies shape many usable days; stones and changing water levels require care. Summer swimmers quickly fill the available launch space.

Reliable upwind riding and return margin are essential when the thermal weakens. Use legal parking and established access, avoiding swimmers and protected sections. Never launch beside roads or among trees; check local shore rules.
