Loissin – Bodden Coast and Ludwigsburg Castle

Natural Beach and Water Sports on the Bodden

The natural beach is in the district of Ludwigsburg. The Loissin surf spot is right on the Greifswalder Bodden. These two locations give Loissin’s waterscape distinct points of interest, but they should not be mistaken for the same place. This distinction is helpful when planning your trip: if you are interested in the beach, you will find it in Ludwigsburg; for water sports, the surf spot on the Bodden is a separate point of reference.

In Loissin, on the Greifswalder Bodden, kitesafe.de offers professional courses in kitesurfing, wingfoiling and SUP. These three sports offer different ways to enjoy the water. If you want to include a course in your trip, you can make your specific interest—kitesurfing, wingfoiling or stand-up paddleboarding—a priority when planning. Together with the natural beach, this offers a water-based reason to visit alongside the historical sights.

Castle Complex and Architectural History

Ludwigsburg Castle is a major cultural and historical destination in the municipality. The estate includes a three-storey, rendered Renaissance building with the floor plan of a Latin cross. These features give architecture enthusiasts specific details to look for when exploring the castle: the number of storeys, the rendered finish and the distinctive floor plan. The castle is therefore of interest not only for its importance to Western Pomerania, but also for the architectural details described here.

Another significant architectural and cultural monument in the region is the Ludwigsburg Castle Chapel. It was built in 1708 and renovated from 2014 to 2018. Together with the castle, it forms a historical focal point for anyone interested in architectural history during their stay. The chapel can also be appreciated as a building in its own right; its historical significance stands alongside that of the castle.

The Weissenborn Mausoleum in the cemetery in Ludwigsburg is another cultural and historical point of interest. On 7 September 2018, an exhibition about the 42 surviving burial chapels and mausoleums in Western Pomerania opened there. It was designed as a permanent summer exhibition. The subject broadens the focus beyond individual buildings in Ludwigsburg to the region’s burial chapels and mausoleums. For travellers interested in regional architectural and cemetery history, it offers a distinct theme alongside the castle and chapel.

Getting Around by Bike and on Foot

A total of three tourist information boards with maps of the surrounding area have been installed across Loissin’s three districts. They are intended to help holidaymakers find their way when cycling and hiking along the Bodden coast. The boards are a practical addition to the area’s established points of interest: if you want to explore the surroundings on foot or by bike, you can use the maps on site to find your way. Cycling and hiking are further possible focuses for a stay, alongside the beach, water sports and culture.

Consider whether you would prefer to spend your holiday combining culture, activities on the water, or exploring on foot and by bike. These interests offer a helpful starting point when searching for a holiday apartment or holiday home in the destination, without presupposing any particular focus for your stay.
