The 1.5-kilometre-long beach promenade, trails through coastal landscapes and water sports at a surf school give Dahme a distinctive feel for a seaside getaway. To help plan your trip, you can choose between cycling, walking and skating, as well as activities along the promenade.

Coastal trails by bike, on foot and on wheels

For cycling, routes towards Dahmeshöved Lighthouse and sections of the Baltic Sea Cycle Route are good options. Walking and Nordic walking routes take you through coastal landscapes. Inline skating is possible on the Deichwirtschaftsweg as far as Rosenfelde. There are several ways to get around: from cycling towards a lighthouse and exploring trails through the landscape to a route specifically designated for inline skating.

Water sports are also among the activities available in Dahme. A local surf school offers activities for beginners as well as experienced participants. The activities on offer may vary; if you have a particular activity in mind, it is best to check what is available in advance.

Promenade, leisure activities and surface

The promenade runs for 1.5 kilometres alongside low dunes, is open towards the beach and offers uninterrupted views of the water. Its length gives you a clear idea of what to expect from a stay on the coast; you can combine a walk with time spent along the promenade.

Two playgrounds, a trampoline and mini-golf area, a tennis court, an inline skating track, and playing areas for beach volleyball, football and basketball are located right next to the promenade. These various facilities add a range of sports and leisure activities to the outdoor options. The promenade surface is suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs, scooters and inline skates. You can therefore take the surface into account when planning your walk along the promenade; the leisure facilities mentioned are next to it.

Fish stalls, cafés and restaurants

There are fish stalls selling fresh fish, as well as cafés and restaurants, along the promenade. On World Fish Sandwich Day, the stalls may also offer creations featuring matjes and eel; these examples are specific to this special occasion. The offerings of individual businesses may change. If you have a particular dining option in mind for your stay, it is best to check in advance.

Cultural highlights in the wider Ostholstein destination

The wider Ostholstein destination offers cultural activities in a variety of formats. Every summer, the Eutin Festival stages a range of opera or operetta performances as open-air events. The Ostholstein Museum in Eutin features changing exhibitions and a permanent exhibition about Eutin during its heyday around 1800. These offerings have different focuses: outdoor performances on the one hand, and exhibitions on a historical theme on the other.

Cismar Monastery in the municipality of Grömitz also hosts changing exhibitions and holds concerts in its vaulted hall during the winter half of the year. In the wider Ostholstein destination, this adds further exhibition and concert formats to the cultural offerings in Eutin. If you choose Dahme as the starting point for planning your trip, you can consider these regional cultural attractions as a separate addition to the coastal trails, promenade and water sports.
