Extra information

Rules
Zones, Time

Officially kitesurfing is forbidden here. But offiails don't enforce the ban, therefore ride here with utmost respect to the rules! To the left from the access is a natural reserve, do not kite there. Due to many tourists during summer kite here only from fall to spring. Keep at least 50m distance to anyone else who not kites. Do not walk over the dunes, use the path.
