Geographical location and special features: Prerow is located on the Darß, a peninsula in north-eastern Germany. The region is known for its breathtaking landscape with dense forests, picturesque villages and long sandy beaches. Here you can experience nature up close and relax.

Tourist attractions: A highlight of Prerow is the Darßer Ort lighthouse, a historic structure dating back to 1848, from where you have a spectacular view of the coast and the sea. The National Park House also offers interesting insights into the flora and fauna of the surrounding nature reserve.

Cultural highlights and events: Cultural events, such as concerts or readings, take place regularly in Prerow. The traditional fishermen's festivals in summer and the Christmas market in winter are also particularly worth seeing.

Culinary specialities: Be sure to try the fresh fish from the Baltic Sea - whether smoked or fried, it tastes simply delicious! But you should also not miss regional specialities such as Rügen chalk potatoes or plum puree.

Outdoor activities: The best seasons for outdoor activities are spring to autumn. In Prerow, there are plenty of opportunities to explore nature - whether it's hiking or cycling through the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park or enjoying water sports such as surfing and sailing.

Rain days in Prerow: Even in bad weather, there is plenty to do in Prerow. Visit the Amber Museum, for example, or take a trip to Zingst, where the Experimentarium is located.

Where is the most beautiful? The beaches of Prerow are among the most beautiful on the Baltic Sea. Here you can soak up the sun undisturbed and swim in the sea. But a walk along the dyke also offers wonderful views of the coast and the hinterland.

Conclusion: Prerow is definitely worth a trip! The town not only offers breathtaking landscapes and great outdoor activities, but also cultural highlights as well as culinary delights. Whether alone, with friends or family - everyone gets their money's worth here!

    Die Schleife in Dierhagen Strand könnte man weglassen. Dadurch kommt es zu keinen Irritationen und versehentlichen Abkürzungen, zumal die Hinweispfeile auf der Straße nicht ausreichten, um der Schleife exakt zu folgen.

    Alles top, die Route benötigt ein Update. Bei Michaelsdorf ist diese Route gesperrt und ein Mehrweg muss gefahren werden. Man sollte Zingst nicht umfahren oder auslassen.

    Sehr schöne Tour. Bin erst durch den Wald und dann den Strand entlang gegangen. Der Jahreszeit entsprechend waren nicht sehr viele Leute unterwegs. Parkplatz kostet gerade 7,50€/Tagesticket. Stundenweise geht nicht. Nicht toll aber Touristen-Ort halt.

    Ich habe die Tour heute von Wustrow aus gemacht. Allerdings ohne das Stück zwischen Prerow und Zingst. Sie ist wirklich sehr empfehlenswert. Das Stück zwischen Darßer Ort und Ahrenshoop schwächelt ein bisschen, aber es gibt ja keine Alternative. Das schönste Stück ist das zwischen Ahrenshoop und Wustrow oben an der Steilküste entlang.

    Sehr schöne Tour, die ich noch mit einem Abstecher zum Darßer Nothafen und zum Weststrand ergänzt habe. Die Fahrt durch den Wald ist zwar recht lang der schmale Weg parallel zum Reitweg aber unglaublich schön und trotzdem gut zu fahren.

    Diese Tour ist wunderschön! Der Weg durch den Wald ist allerdings nicht besonders abwechslungsreich, aber gehört eben zum Darßer Ort dazu! Leuchtturm, Weststrand, Dünenweg und Nordstrand sind aber in jedem Fall ein Muss und die 5 Sterne wert. Wer gut zu Fuß ist, kann auch noch den Weststrand Richtung Süden (und zurück) einbauen und so Wasser, Strand und fotogene Baumformationen genießen. Wir sind die Tour bei schönem Wetter im April gegangen - gute Reisezeit, es war nicht überlaufen, sondern sehr angenehm.

    Eine echte Highlight-Tour auf dem Fischland! Unsere Empfehlung: früh aufbrechen, bevor sich die Menschenmassen auf den Weg machen.

    Insgesamt eine superschöne Strecke. Bis Bodstedt zwar viel an Landstraßen entlang, aber der Rest ist super. Weiterer kulinarischer Tipp: der Lachsdöner am Start/Zielpunkt!
