Geographically, Zingst is located on a peninsula between the Baltic Sea and the Bodden, which means that you can experience a unique combination of coastal and inland areas here. The region is known for its breathtaking beaches, which stretch over 18 kilometres. Here you will find fine sand and crystal clear water - perfect for swimming or sunbathing.

Tourist attractions include the Darßer Ort National Park Centre and the Experimentarium Zingst with interactive exhibitions on natural history. For cultural highlights, we recommend a visit to the Ahrenshoop Art Museum or the Vorpommern Theatre in Greifswald.

In summer, there are numerous events to discover such as the Harbour Festival or the Amber Festival. Culinary specialities include fresh fish and regional products such as smoked meat and honey.

The main outdoor activities are cycling, hiking, sailing and surfing - all possible thanks to the mild climate from May to September. The Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park also offers birdwatching opportunities during the migratory bird season in autumn.

If it rains, make time for museum visits or wellness offers in the local hotels. The best weather awaits you on the beach at sunrise or sunset.

In summary, Zingst is definitely worth a trip thanks to its unique geographical location and numerous activities for every taste. We hope this guide will help you plan your trip and welcome you to Zingst soon!

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.
