Grüner Brink (Fehmarn)

Grüner Brink (Fehmarn) is a windsports beach on the northeast side of Fehmarn with shallow, clean water and a medium-sized sandy beach. It is primarily known for NE to E wind setups (often NE/ENE/E), and the overall layout supports a large standing area near shore. For kitesurfing, the shallow flat water is particularly well suited to freestyle and freeride, including beginner progression. In stronger NE conditions, offshore sandbar effects can improve wave characteristics beyond the initial shallow zone, but that same sandbar can also create breaking waves—so it’s important to read the water and manage your riding position. Windsurfing is described as excellent for freeride and wave-style riding from near-shore where water can stay manageable and flat. NE winds can bring bump-and-jump opportunities, while sail choice typically depends on the strength of the front and the time of year. Wingfoiling is reported as suitable after leaving the very shallow initial section; once past that early shallow zone, the sandbar-backed water can support good control. The highest priority safety aspect is the strict adjacent nature reserve to the east: kitesurfing and windsurfing are forbidden inside it and it is monitored. In summer especially, swimmers use the bathing area—kite and wind traffic can become very busy during easterly winds—so riders should stay within designated water sports zones and respect marked swimming areas.
