Am Salzhaff
Accommodation in Am Salzhaff
At Am Salzhaff, the Pepelow surf spot is a useful reference when planning your trip: the Salzhaff is very shallow there and offers an especially large standing area. A surf school and the Baltic Sea Cycle Route, which runs alongside the campsite, add further options for active days. If you are looking for accommodation in Am Salzhaff, you can decide whether water sports, cycling or local culture will shape your stay.

Water sports at the Pepelow surf spot
The surf school at the Pepelow surf spot offers windsurfing and kitesurfing, as well as kayaking, wakeboarding and water skiing. The selection ranges from activities on the water to options involving a board and sail. The large shallow standing area is a distinctive feature of this surf spot. It sets the location apart in terms of its described water characteristics; however, this does not imply anything about personal suitability or conditions for individual sports.
Wind direction is also a factor when getting your bearings: the Pepelow surf spot is at its best with winds from southwest to north. At the campsite, kite and windsurfing schools offer courses for beginners and advanced participants. If you are specifically looking for a kitesurfing or windsurfing course, this provides a dedicated option alongside the broader range offered by the surf school at the surf spot. The stated course levels apply to these two sports.
At the Pepelow surf spot, toilets, showers and waste disposal facilities are available at the campsite. The Ostseecamping “Am Salzhaff” campsite and motorhome park is also located directly on the Salzhaff. These location details give water sports enthusiasts practical orientation at the lagoon, without treating the different offerings as interchangeable: the surf spot, the schools and the campsite and motorhome park are each described by their own features.
Explore further by bike
The Baltic Sea Cycle Route runs alongside the campsite, making it easy for active visitors to reach the Hanseatic city of Wismar or the holiday island of Poel by bicycle. Cycling is another way to plan your trip to Am Salzhaff. If you would like to include a bike ride as well as days by the water, you can consider Wismar or Poel as destinations accessible via the cycle route. Both destinations are mentioned, but no specific route or travel time is given.
Local character and crafts
Historic buildings are also local points of interest. At Strandstraße 20 in Pepelow stands a listed hall house, a former smallholding. In Rakow, at Parkstraße 9, there is another listed building: a manor house. The two houses are in different villages and have different building descriptions. If you are interested in local character and historic buildings, you can consider each as a separate destination.
The “Lierlütt” pottery has been operating in Teßmannsdorf, in the Am Salzhaff district, since 2018. It adds a local craft dimension to the historic buildings. Together, these entries offer different perspectives on a stay: the surf spot and its water sports, the cycle route, and architectural and craft-related interests.
