Pramort birdwatching point

Crane watching at the Pramort bird observation point

The Pramort bird observation point on the Zingst peninsula in the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park is a special place for nature lovers in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. From September to November, tens of thousands of cranes gather here on their way to their wintering grounds. If you are lucky, you can see the large birds fly in wedge-shaped formations or long chains to their roosts - a natural spectacle of unique intensity.

Sustainable viewing platform with green roof in Pramort

A spacious viewing platform has been built for visitors that is both ecological and sustainable. A green roof reliably protects observers with binoculars, spotting scopes or cameras from wind and rain without disturbing the migrating birds. The platform is designed to be barrier-free and free of disturbance, making it accessible to all. Binoculars, spotting scopes and lenses can be borrowed from the nearby Max Hünten Haus.

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.
