Description:

The path allows to enjoy a comfortable and pleasant walk through the pine forest to a small viewing platform at the beach.

The rocky coast here lies friendly together with the light, sandy beach. The ones looking over from the parking lot see only the rocky coast and might think – ehh, no swimming here… But as soon as you walk down the path and get to the beach, it becomes clear – no, you, can! The beach sand area is not accessible, so it will not be possible to reach the water in a wheelchair.
