What to expect
The Darßer Ort is a unique location on the western beach at the northernmost tip of the Darß peninsula in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is home to a 36-meter-high brick lighthouse built in 1849, which offers breathtaking views of the Baltic Sea and surrounding nature. The area is also part of the National Park of Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft and features a diverse landscape with dunes, beaches, and forests. The NATUREUM natural history museum is located near the lighthouse and provides insight into the region's natural environment, flora, and fauna. The Darß Forest, which covers most of the peninsula, is a great place for hiking and exploring. The area is also known for its birdwatching opportunities, with tens of thousands of migrating cranes and geese passing through. Families can enjoy various activities, such as visiting the lighthouse, exploring the forest, and learning about the region's natural history at the NATUREUM
