Rerik & Salzhaff

Rerik / Salzhaff

A small seaside town caught between the Baltic Sea and the Salzhaff lagoon. One side has a cliff-backed beach and the other calm lagoon water, making it a paradise for windsurfing and family paddling.

Rerik lies about 15 km west of Kühlungsborn, on a narrow strip of land between the bay and the lagoon. To the north is the Baltic beach below the cliffs, and to the south the Salzhaff lagoon has shallow, gentle waves, ideal for windsurfing, kitesurfing and children's paddling. The town has a red-brick Gothic church and the ruins of a Slavic castle. The Wustrow Peninsula to the west is a closed military zone and cannot be entered. The old pier has been demolished and is being rebuilt. It is about 20 minutes' drive, and in summer boats travel between Rerik and Kühlungsborn.
