CRANORAMA
📍 Altenpleen
KRANORAMA am Günzer See is located on the mainland between Barth and Stralsund. This modern and barrier-free observation station for cranes was opened in 2015 and enables undisturbed and near-natural observation of cranes and other resting birds and birds of prey.
On the viewing platform, visitors can observe cranes during their resting period in spring and fall. The Kranorama provides audiovisual media as well as a live broadcast of the cranes from the field on a large screen.
In the fall, the cranes can usually be seen from September to early November. They also make a brief stopover in spring, especially in March. During the day, they can be found in harvested maize fields, where they feed on the energy reserves they need for their onward flight. As the cranes are fed in the neighboring fields of the Kranorama, it is very likely to see them there.
Please take care not to disturb the cranes during your visit, as undisturbed stopovers with extensive feeding are vital for the survival of these large birds. It is therefore best to wear muted colors and move quietly.
From April, the Kranorama takes a summer break.
It reopens in the fall when the cranes are resting. Outdoor observation is still possible outside opening hours.
