Pramort birdwatching point
● Pramort
From September to November, you can experience an impressive spectacle from the Pramort crane resting area, when the cranes form a wedge-shaped formation or line up in a long chain as they approach their roosts. A green roof has been erected over the rectangular viewing platform. Protection from wind and rain for all observers with binoculars, spotting scopes and cameras. At the same time, the migrating birds are not disturbed by the people watching them below. A win-win situation for humans and animals! Spotting scopes, binoculars and lenses for observing animals can be borrowed from the Max Hünten Haus. The platform was built naturally - ecologically and sustainably. The Pramort crane observation platform is barrier- and disturbance-free.
Pramort Hohe Düne bird observation point
● Pramort
The most important migratory resting place of the gray crane is located in front of Pramort. The presence of humans disturbs the large birds. They become nervous, turn away and waste valuable energy, which they urgently need for the long flight to their wintering grounds. In the worst case scenario, they may leave their roost - permanently. From here you can observe various water birds, waders and white-tailed eagles. A special feature is the observation of the resting cranes. From September to November, you can experience an impressive spectacle from the Pramort crane roosting site, for example when the cranes form a wedge-shaped formation or line up in a long chain as they approach their roosting sites. Pramort is a large field of white dunes on the Ostzingst. At more than 13 meters high, the high dune of Pramort is also one of the highest white dune landscapes on the German Baltic Sea coast. This dune, the High Dune of Pramort, is an extremely sensitive landscape that would be damaged by any footfall. People don't really belong here. In order to protect the highly sensitive large birds, the number of visitors to Pramort is limited. The entire area is therefore closed to the general public every day from September 1 to the beginning of November from 3 pm until 8 am the next morning. With one exception: you can purchase the National Park Card "Observe - without disturbing" for the day in question at the checkpoint. It is then valid from 3 pm to 7 pm.
