Accommodation
Geographically, Pruchten is located in the federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The town borders directly on the Baltic Sea and thus offers numerous opportunities for water sports activities such as swimming, sailing or surfing. Walks along the beach are also an absolute highlight.

Most relevant to tourism are the town's historic buildings, such as Pruchten Castle or the 13th-century St. Marien Church. Cultural highlights can also be found at the regular concerts and theatre performances at the local event centre "Kulturhaus".

For culinary specialities, it is recommended to try local fish dishes - after all, you are right on the coast here! Another speciality are the famous Rostock smoke cakes - small dumplings filled with meat or potato mixture.

If it ever rains there are still plenty of activity options: A visit to the local history museum of Pruchten is very interesting and educational at the same time. Here you can learn more about the history of the region as well as its traditions and customs.

The best seasons for outdoor activities in Pruchten are spring and summer. Here, for example, you can go on bicycle tours through the surrounding forests or take a boat trip on the Bodden.

Where is it most beautiful in Pruchten? That's hard to say, because every place has its own charm. But a walk along the beach at sunset is definitely one of them!

So Pruchten is definitely worth a visit - be it for cultural highlights, culinary delights or outdoor activities. We hope this guide will help you get the most out of your stay here!

ROUTE 2 | Circuit around the Saaler Bodden by Ralph
September 03, 2025 · Community
Alles top, die Route benötigt ein Update. Bei Michaelsdorf ist diese Route gesperrt und ein Mehrweg muss gefahren werden. Man sollte Zingst nicht umfahren oder auslassen.
