Bike tour to Pramort and the Hohe Düne

A holiday on the Baltic Sea is ideal for a leisurely bike ride along the coast. Why not head for the eastern tip of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula and visit Pramort and the dune, which is over 13 metres high? As a reward, you will be treated to a special view of the natural beach and the untouched nature of the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park.

At the north-western tip of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula, the Darßer Ort lighthouse invites you to take a trip. Once at the top, you can enjoy a unique view over the Darß forest and the dune landscape in the middle of the national park. The 14 km long, unspoilt western beach is one of the most beautiful sandy beaches in the world and is a highlight of any Baltic Sea holiday.

From Zingst Harbour: Boat trips on the Bodden

No holiday on the Baltic Sea would be complete without a boat trip. Boats depart regularly from Zingst harbour, inviting you to take a trip around the lagoon or a boat tour to Stralsund, Barth or the island of Hiddensee. Enjoy hours on the sea and watch the numerous cranes fly in at dusk amidst the unspoilt nature.

Autumn excursions to see the deer rut or crane resting places

The Fischland-Darß-Zingst region offers two unique natural spectacles that are particularly ideal for a short autumn break on the Baltic Sea: the deer rut and the crane migration. Zingst is a good starting point for both, as numerous observation and photography excursions depart from here. From September to early October, you can experience the deer rut against the stunning backdrop of the Baltic Sea at Darßer Ort. From late September to late October, tens of thousands of cranes rest on their flight south at Pramort or on the island of Kirr – almost in Zingst.
