Shelter at the Entrance to Gespensterwald

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice opportunity to rest at the entrance to the ghost forest. You have to watch out for the cyclists, who often drive recklessly into the forest despite the "no driving" sign.

Gespensterwald

Forest

8.20 km

The Nienhäger wood, the official name of the forest section around the seaside resort, better known as the ghost forest of Nienhagen, belongs to the forest of the Rostock district and is managed by the forest authority. The approximately 180 hectare mixed forest looks extraordinarily spooky, especially in fog or wind: when the trees, bushes and grasses growing here lay in bizarre shapes in dim light and are pushed towards the ground by the storm. When there is a strong storm from the direction of the Baltic Sea, it seems as if the gnarled trees with their sparse crowns whispered to one another in a wind-fleeing form.

View of the Gespensterwald from the beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a view of the ghost forest. You also walk right by the water, a unique combination. You also protect the forest, which is threatened by the increasing soil compaction caused by hikers and irrational cyclists (who bypass the barrier), as the sign said.
