Village Ahrenshoop, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

What to expect

Ahrenshoop is a charming artist village located on the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The village has a long history dating back to 1311 and was once a small fishing village. Today, it is known for its tourism and as a holiday resort. Ahrenshoop is situated by the sea and offers a picturesque natural scenery with a fantastically beautiful sea. The village has a number of galleries and museums showcasing works of art by local and international artists. Visitors can stroll through the small town, visit the idyllic harbor, and enjoy the beautiful beaches. The West Beach, directly adjacent to the Darss forest, is one of the most vivid examples of land degradation and land formation and is often mentioned as 'the most beautiful beach in Germany.' The High Shore, a 3.2-kilometer-long stretch of shoreline between Wustrow and Ahrenshoop, offers a magnificent view over the glistening sea. Ahrenshoop is also a great place for families to visit, with its shallow entrance into the water, making it perfect for a vacation with kids
