    The national park offers adventurous ranger-led tours. Here the history of the coastal landscape is brought to life, and exciting discoveries are guaranteed while exploring finds on the beach.

    Von Prerow aus kann man mit dem Rad die Zeltplatzstraße bis zum Ende fahren und dort den Fahrradstellplatz nutzen. Von dort aus kann man eine kleinere Rundtour über die Bohlenstege zum Darßer Ort wandern und über den Leuchturmweg zurück zum Fahrrad gehen: <a href="https://www.outdooractive.com/de/r/24072192/" data-type="tour" data-id="24072192" class="oax_internallink">Familientour Darßer Ort</a> Die anderen Wege im Darßwald (z.B. Mittelweg, K-Gestell) sind mit Beton-Lochplatten befestigt und daher weniger gut mit dem Rad befahrbar.

    Offizielle km-Angabe stimmt hinten und vorne nicht! Wir sind ie vorgegebene Strecke gelaufen und waren 16,1 km!!! unterwegs. Am Leuchtturm diereinste Abzock! Ohne den Eintritt von 8 Euro zu bezahlen kommt man nicht mal in den Innenhof um einen Kaffee zu trinken oder etwas zu essen! Absoluter nogo. Der Weg selbst ist wunderbar. Viel beeindruckende Natur. Parkplatz-Tageskarte 12 Euro!!

    Sehr schöne Tour. Bin erst durch den Wald und dann den Strand entlang gegangen. Der Jahreszeit entsprechend waren nicht sehr viele Leute unterwegs. Parkplatz kostet gerade 7,50€/Tagesticket. Stundenweise geht nicht. Nicht toll aber Touristen-Ort halt.
