Weststrand Born a. Darß - Wild beach in the national park

Nowhere else on the Baltic Sea coast do land erosion and land formation take place so dynamically, in such a short time and in such a confined space as in the "Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft" National Park. The western beach, which borders directly on the Darßwald forest, is one of the most vivid examples of this. Due to its wildness and remoteness, it has been declared one of the most beautiful beaches in Germany and Europe on several occasions. Arte even nominated it as one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world. Weststrand is located on the west coast of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula and consists of a 14 km long sandy beach. Here, romantic closeness to nature is combined with the unspoiled nature of the coastal landscape. The land has a rugged, inimitable charm, while the miles of fine sandy beach invite you to linger and dream at any time of year. The horizon seems wider here than anywhere else and the sky and earth meet in the distance. The air is clear. It invigorates body and soul. You feel free and recharge your batteries along the unbridled nature of the Baltic Sea, which is gentle and soft in its originality, only to become impetuous just a few moments later. Here you can bathe your soul and salt your senses.

Dynamic coastal landscape in the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park

Nowhere else on the Baltic Sea coast can the eternal change of land erosion and land formation be observed as directly as here. The Weststrand is a living example of the power of nature: the coast is constantly changing, the wind shapes the beach and the Baltic Sea is sometimes gentle and calm, sometimes impetuous and raw. This originality clearly distinguishes the Darß from the more frequented beaches on Rügen or Usedom.
