June 21, 2023,Darß Naturschutzgebiet

The beach has been described by many as worth seeing. For us personally, there were too many people there, the sand wasn't as fine as elsewhere. The shore area was rocky, as was the shallow water. The first beach at the lighthouse that we tried was apparently at one point a pier. On the way to the beach, a 1.20 …

This evening I took advantage of the great weather and drove from Prerow via Mittelweg to Darßer Ort and enjoyed the sunset on the west beach.

September 30, 2021,Durch den Darßer Urwald zum Leuchturm Darßer Ort

Spontaneously decided today we came to the Darß peninsula for a long weekend. Darß greeted us with rain and wind at hurricane strength. Well protected from the wind, we cycled through the Darßer jungle to the west beach and the Darßer Ort lighthouse and took a walk on one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. The wildly …

Moin😀🙋🏼‍♂️, today from a really small tour😀 from Darß on the Baltic Sea👣. In the nicest November weather ☁️😊 we started with the rental bikes from the hotel after breakfast. We went from West Strand through the dunes and forests bathed in all colors to the Prerow pier. It was only a few kilometers, but it was a great little …

September 5, 2025,Trotz Nieselregen geradelt .

Thunderstorm in the morning, followed by drizzle. ☹️
We set out for our bike ride anyway. Along the way, we were met with a heavy shower, and then the sun came out again. We only cycled 15 km, but walked a lot along the water (without recording). We finished off the day with a stop at the pier festival 😊

July 4, 2025,Fahrradtour zum Nothafen und zum Leuchtturm

We did the tour again with our kids. The youngest is 6 years old. Since there's no elevation gain, it's not stressful. You can combine the tour behind the lighthouse with a hike through the nature reserve. A little tip to motivate the kids: There are grass snakes and adders there. We even spotted a common snake. Our little one …

A ride is like no other, so it went through the Darßer forest to the port of refuge in Prerow, enjoy the sunset and hold on to it for you.
On my way home I passed the rainbow camp, in Prerow I drove past the amber museum and the tea bowl.
I can highly recommend both together with the port …
