Gespensterwald

Forest Nienhagen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

What to expect

The Gespensterwald, also known as the Ghost Forest, is a unique and fascinating place located in Nienhagen, Germany. This 180-hectare mixed forest is situated on the Baltic Sea coast and features trees that have been shaped by the salty sea air and wind into unusual, twisted forms. The forest is perfect for walking and exploring, and its proximity to the beach makes it an ideal destination for families. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the sea, go swimming, and even try their hand at fishing. The forest's eerie atmosphere, particularly at twilight or in the mist, has led to its nickname, but it's a great place to visit with family and friends

This family's experience:

Activities: We went to the Gespensterwald, a coastal forest mainly consisting of beeches and a few oaks, where the trees' shapes are twisted by storms and sea air. We took a walk there and it was amazing

Highlights: The most beautiful time in the Gespensterwald is in autumn and winter when there are no leaves on the trees. The mystical atmosphere is great, and the view from the cliff is magnificent ✨
