The restaurant
High above the sea on the cliff in the protected landscape between Travemünde and Niendorf, the Hermannshöhe serves breakfast, home-made cakes from its own bakery and changing lunch dishes including fish and North-German classics. The self-service format keeps prices moderate and waits short. Families find an outdoor area with a playground; in the evening the house serves as an event venue. The TA.SH tourism data describe the kitchen as traditional Holstein cooking with fish dishes and North-German classics. The opening details differ between sources: the website gives 11 am to 7 pm daily, OpenStreetMap lists seasonal hours with an earlier start at weekends – worth checking the website before setting out. It is the only address in this guide outside the town itself, a good three kilometres north of the beach promenade on top of the cliff; on foot the way leads along the shore path towards Niendorf.
