On the Saaler Bodden hiking trail to the Darßer ArcheThe good bus connection on the Darß makes long-distance hikes completely uncomplicated.

Scenic panoramic route around FischlandOne of the most charming high cliff trails along the German Baltic Sea coast! The scenic trail connects the artist village of Ahrenshoop with the pier of Wustrow. After a possible stop at one of the local fish restaurants, you cross over to the Saaler Bodden shoreline. In Barnstorf, you can take a look inside the art barn, and in the quaint Althagen harbor, there's another chance to enjoy a good meal. Oh, and with Bakelberg, the highest “viewpoint summit” of Fischland is also on the route.

Weather-wise, strong thunderstorms were forecast, so we had to shorten our bike tour yesterday. We made up for the rest on foot today and that was exactly the right and perfect decision. Our rainy day – a few drops fell around 10 o'clock, quickly passed, and the bright sunshine blessed us with wonderfully fresh summer weather at 22 degrees. Ahrenshoop is best explored on foot, because with the bike you can't constantly stop. Around every corner there is something to see, especially the beautiful thatched houses and the artist-sacristan path are definitely worth conquering. We were in the Baltic Sea with our feet for a long time before we took in the breathtaking steep coast.
Nature is especially mighty in these sections of the coast, the stele I photographed is expected to no longer stand there by 2040. The coast loses at least 60 centimeters of land every year to the Baltic Sea or more precisely to the Darß, between Wustrow and Ahrenshoop. So, hiking 🥾 there is a must for interested vacationers 😉😎🙋♂️
Enjoy life constantly – you are dead longer than alive ❗️
