Geographically, Zingst is located on a peninsula between the Baltic Sea and the Bodden, which means that you can experience a unique combination of coastal and inland areas here. The region is known for its breathtaking beaches, which stretch over 18 kilometres. Here you will find fine sand and crystal clear water - perfect for swimming or sunbathing.

Tourist attractions include the Darßer Ort National Park Centre and the Experimentarium Zingst with interactive exhibitions on natural history. For cultural highlights, we recommend a visit to the Ahrenshoop Art Museum or the Vorpommern Theatre in Greifswald.

In summer, there are numerous events to discover such as the Harbour Festival or the Amber Festival. Culinary specialities include fresh fish and regional products such as smoked meat and honey.

The main outdoor activities are cycling, hiking, sailing and surfing - all possible thanks to the mild climate from May to September. The Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park also offers birdwatching opportunities during the migratory bird season in autumn.

If it rains, make time for museum visits or wellness offers in the local hotels. The best weather awaits you on the beach at sunrise or sunset.

In summary, Zingst is definitely worth a trip thanks to its unique geographical location and numerous activities for every taste. We hope this guide will help you plan your trip and welcome you to Zingst soon!

    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.

    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.

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

    Schöne, abwechslungsreiche Tour, aber zwischen Zingst und Darsser Ort sehr viele Radler. Die Boddenseite gefiel uns landschaftlich besser.

    Wir haben die Tour von Zingst gemacht. Wir sind mit unseren Trackingrädern gegen den Uhrzeigersinn gefahren. Unser Tacho hat am Ende 95km angezeigt. Insgesamt hat die Tour 8 Stunden gedauert. In Born und Ribnitz haben wir jeweils 0,5 Stunden Pause gemacht. Da ich unterwegs noch einwenig Geocaching gemacht habe kommen wir auf ca. 6,5 Stunden Fahrzeit. Wir sind bis auf den Bereich um Ribnitz genau dem Track gefolgt. In Ribnitz sind wir der Fahrradbeschilderung gefolgt. So fährt man am Wasser entlang und nicht auf der Hauptstrasse durch den Ort. Danke fürs hochlanden sagt Det und Renate
