Circular hike with river and peninsulaBarth is advertised as Vineta city based on recent findings that the legendary city of Vineta could have been located at the former Oder estuary near present-day Barth. According to legend, a storm surge punished the inhabitants for their moral decay, wastefulness, and arrogance. Other theories place Vineta near Rügen, Usedom, or the Polish Wollin. With or without a Vineta past, this hike offers much variety at the mouth of the Barthe river on the Bodden coast. We circle the peninsula with the Fuchsberg panoramic platform on a scenic dike path and explore the hinterland with forests, fields, an airport with solar parks, the town of Barth with the old Noble Maiden's Foundation, fish fountain, and Fangelturm tower.
One of the most beautiful hiking tours in Barth leads along the shore of the Bodden. Here you can explore the unique flora and fauna of the region and enjoy the view of the glittering water. The trail is well signposted and is suitable for both experienced hikers and families with children.
Another highlight is the hiking trails through the Darßwald forest. This nature reserve is home to rare plant and animal species as well as idyllic forest landscapes. Especially in spring, when everything begins to blossom, the Darßwald shines in all its glory.
