Presen on Fehmarn: Cliffs, Geology and Baltic Sea Views

Cliffs, natural beaches and expansive views

In the eastern area of experiences on Fehmarn, a coastal landscape with cliffs, natural beaches, small island villages and expansive views of the Baltic Sea unfolds between Katharinenhof, Presen and Meeschendorf. The striking cliffs form a distinct coastal edge, while the natural beaches and open views across the Baltic Sea reveal other facets of this landscape. Small island villages add rural townscapes to the landscape. The peaceful discoveries invited by the Baltic Sea views can focus both on the coastal formations and on the small places between Katharinenhof, Presen and Meeschendorf. Those exploring the coastal edge can turn their gaze towards the striking cliffs or the natural beaches.

Geology as a practical way to explore

In Fehmarn OT Presen, the audio guide “Geology – Fehmarn Audio Guide” explores Fehmarn’s geological formation using stones and coastal soil layers. On Fehmarn, it invites visitors to search the beach for hag stones, clapper stones, amber, fossil traces, belemnites and Baltic Sea jade. For days at the beach with an interest in stones and coastal soil layers, the audio guide provides a specific thematic framework. The audio guide connects Fehmarn’s geological formation with an observation-based experience that begins directly at the beach. During a visit to the beach, both stones and coastal soil layers as well as individual finds take center stage. In Presen, this geological approach meets the landscape of cliffs, natural beaches and Baltic Sea views. Individual finds stand alongside the expansive landscape at the beach.
