The peninsula Fischland/Darss, which lies halfway between Rostock
and Stralsund, is famous not only for its great natural beauty but
also for the Baltic seaside resorts Born, Dierhagen, Prerow, Wiek,
Wustrow and Zingst. The peninsula Darss cannot be overlooked, situated
as it is to the West of the Island of Ruegen. In reality, the "peninsula"
consists of what was originally three small islands (from west to
east, Fischland, Darss and Zingst) which were joined as, through
the ages, the stretches of water separating them silted up. Fischland,
on which almost no trees grow, extends from Dierhagen in the north
to Althagen, which is today a part of Ahrenshoop. Here Near Darss
begins with its moors, dunes and fields. The edge of the Darss wood
is simultaneously the border of the West Pomeranian Boddenlandschaft
National Park. Darss Wood is uninhabited and consists of dunes,
marshes and moor. Zingst starts near the River Prerow, east of Prerow,
and contains a single village of the same name, two wooded areas
and a group of grassy fields called the Sundischen Wiesen.

| A great diversity of cultural
events take place in this National Park, which (as statistics prove)
can claim more visitors per year than any other in Germany, and there
is something for everybody - for example, recover from the stress
of everyday living by attending a concert in one of the churches.
During the Darss Festival, historical plays are presented in period
costume on the Open Air Stage at Wieck. The annual Vineta Festival
takes place in Barth - a theatrical spectacle with drama, music, displays
of martial arts, dancing and fireworks, forming a counterpoint to
the Stoertebeker Festival on Ruegen. In Ribnitz-Damgarten international
folk dancing groups entertain the public and you can learn all about
the "Baltic Sea Gold" in the Amber Museum. Regattas and
maritime festivals take place in many towns and villages and nature-lovers
can discover a multitude of interesting things on guided walks. |

If you crave activity, you are
in the right place - throughout the year you can be out and
about on the dykes on bicycles, rollerblades or on foot. Golf
and tennis can be played on well-tended grounds. With a surface
area of almost 2000 km², the inland bay is the place for
anglers, beachcombers, sailors and surfers - and if the winter
turns really cold, you can even try ice-sailing and fishing.
À propos angling - the plentitude of fish in the waters
is proverbial: here you can count on catching the big one! |
