Fischland-Darß-Zingst: A peninsula full of adventure
This family's experience:

Activities: We explored the Darß Forest, which can be as exciting as a jungle, with its different shades of green and the opportunity to climb on fallen trees. "Mama, I'm scared," my four-year-old son said. We armed ourselves with big sticks and bravely went on. We tried to catch butterflies

Highlights: The many different shades of green fascinated us. We enjoyed the mix of different tree species. My son liked the opportunity to climb on fallen trees and try to catch butterflies. The forest offered both school and playground at the same time ✨
