Coastal Path Between Kühlungsborn and Nienhagen

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The subsoil alternates between sand, gravel and rough pavement. Basically good for jogging, as long as you don't want to run personal bests :-)

Entrance to the Gespensterwald

Highlight • Forest

If it's very stormy, then this "Unterschlumpf" is the place to go before continuing on the steep bank over a length of 1300 m along the ghost forest to Nienhagen

Nienhagen Ghost Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Ghost Forest is a mixed forest of approximately 180 hectares. The forest is named for its bizarrely shaped and fairy-tale-like trees.

Nienhagen Ghost Forest

Highlight • Forest

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.

Baltic Sea Border Watchtower BT 11 Börgerende

Highlight • Monument

You can see the tower from afar directly on the Baltic Sea long-distance cycle path. Stop and take a short detour to the tower. Here you can find out interesting facts about border controls in the former GDR.
