Sorry, when I see "highlights" like this, only one thought comes to mind: are there no real highlights here? Is this the best there is??? Garden decorations?

Near Zierow, a talented artist has carved an impressive sculpture of seals and fish into a tree trunk with a chainsaw – a real coastal highlight and absolutely worth seeing. Thanks Sven, gladly more such great unique pieces.

Great beach, quiet atmosphere, no crowds or tourists like on many other Baltic Sea beaches. Shallow water and fine sand. Drinks are available at the kiosk and food can be found at the campsite in the Oasis. If you want a beach, this is the right place.

Alcedo is a genus within the subfamily Alcedininae (kingfishers), whose members are primarily distributed in the Afrotropics and Oriental regions. Only the common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), which is also native to Central Europe, is widespread across large parts of the Palearctic and is also found in South Asia and New Guinea. At one time, nearly twenty species were placed in this genus; now it contains only seven (or, according to another view, eight) species. The remaining species were reassigned to other, closely related genera based on the findings of comparative genetic studies.
