The classic hike to the lighthouse in the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National ParkThe Darßer Ort in the core zone of the national park grows 10 m into the sea each year due to dynamic sedimentation processes. The hike begins at the fine sandy north beach of Prerow and then leads through the sedimentation zone to the untouched west beach, which, although it has many excursionists and bathers, has neither a house nor a beach chair. From the lighthouse at Darßer Ort, the area can be wonderfully overlooked from a bird's-eye view.

Hiking through the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park. The tour is a delight for nature lovers and offers many highlights, especially for bird watching.
For nature lovers, there are various hiking tours in Prerow. One popular route leads along the Darß primeval forest, an original beech forest with many rare animal and plant species. Here you can explore the untouched nature on well-maintained hiking trails and enjoy the scent of the forest. The bird sanctuary "Darßer Ort" is also worth a visit - here you can observe rare bird species such as white-tailed eagles or cranes.
Hikes along the coast of Prerow are also particularly recommended. The fine sandy beach invites you to take relaxing walks where you can hear the sound of the sea and let your eyes wander over the expanse of the Baltic Sea. Those who like a bit more action can hike along the dike path - it runs directly along the water and offers spectacular views of the sea.
The best seasons for hiking in Prerow are spring and autumn. At these times it is pleasantly mild and nature comes to life or shows itself in the most beautiful autumn colours. In summer, on the other hand, it can get quite hot, so it is better to go hiking early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
There are also plenty of opportunities for families with children to go hiking in Prerow. The Darßwald forest, for example, offers an adventure playground and a barefoot path where little explorers can sharpen their senses. A ride on the historic Darßer Bahn is also a highlight for children - while the train leisurely travels through the landscape, they can gaze out of the window at the passing nature.
In summary, there are many wonderful hiking options in Prerow along the beach, through the forest or along the coast. The geographical location between the Baltic Sea and the Darß forest makes this region particularly attractive for nature lovers. Whether alone, as a couple or with the whole family - everyone will find their suitable route here and can enjoy the beauty of this unique landscape.
