Prerow–Zingst Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

It's proven to be one of the most frequently used bike paths in Germany. However, there's no alternative if you want to cycle in the opposite direction from Prerow to Zingst. It's easily rideable in the off-season, but offers no special views.

Darß Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Darß Forest is a forested area on the western part of the Darß Peninsula. There are no settlements within the forest. Surrounding towns are Ahrenshoop and Born to the south, and Wieck and Prerow to the east. The Darß Forest covers 5,800 hectares and is part of the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park. The area around Darßer Ort and the northwestern part of the forest belong to Protection Zone 1, where no human use is permitted and natural development of the land is encouraged.

Darßer West Beach

Highlight • Beach

An air of wildness and romance wafts across the western shore of the Darß. It was named one of the 20 most beautiful beaches in the world by the television channel arte. The approximately 13-kilometer-long western shore of the Baltic Sea peninsula of Darß offers a special, unspoiled charm. A walk here is a special treat at any time of year. After storms, amber pieces can be found with a keen eye. Far from the noise of the streets, accessible only on foot or by bike, you will find untouched nature where wind and waves still exert their power to shape and shape the beach. Trees of the Darß forest, uprooted by storms, lie across the beach, cultivated only by the forces of nature. Ocean currents sweep away land here and deposit the sand at the northern Darßer Ort, which slowly continues to grow northward.
