Mecklenburg’s Fischland

Baltic seaside resorts with traditions going back over 100 years, such as Dierhagen, Prerow, Wustrow and the artist’s colony of Ahrenshoop: you will pass these spots on your hike across the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula. You come through quiet fishing harbours and small pretty villages – a region could hardly be more picturesque. A large part of the Fischland is under the protection of the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park. You will especially remember the idyllic forest of the Darß, the picturesque pine forests and the cliffs and beaches.

Relaxation and peacefulness are your constant companions on this Eurohike hiking tour through the endless expanse of Western Pomerania. Gently undulating shapes and wonderful seclusion provide impressions that are hard to find in this form in Germany.

Details about a hiking holiday in Mechlenburg Fischland

Spend seven days and six nights in beautiful Mecklenburg. The first hiking stage of the Eurohike trip leads from Ribnitz to Dierhagen. Two hanseatic cities, Rostock and Stralsund will be passed in the first sections. On day three, all those who are interested in seafaring tradition can explore the surroundings of Prerow in more detail. In addition to historic architecture and spa culture, you will pass through the town of Ahrenshoop and the narrowest piece of land on the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula.

The west beach, at the end of the hiking trip, is a real natural beach and a wonderful backdrop. Forest that reaches right up to the edge of the dunes and, as a highlight, a lighthouse that you pass by directly. You can hardly find a more romantic place.

The highlights of the hiking trip through the Fischland

• Romantic Prerow Bay: On day four you can enjoy the day of rest to the fullest. In Prerow and especially in the bay of the same name you will find a fine, show-white sandy beach. One of the most beautiful in all of Europe!
• 15th century dam gate: This gate in the small town of Barth is the only one of four original city gates that has survived. At 35 metres high and four metres wide, it is really impressive and definitely worth a visit!
