Every year in spring and autumn, up to 70,000 cranes come to the Vorpommersche lagoon landscape and use the area as a place to sleep and rest area. The wooden vantage point in Tankow on the island of Ummanz offers one of the most spectacular observation sites for this unique natural spectacle. In addition, a variety of bird species that breed here and raise their young can be seen throughout the year. In addition to twelve different types of ducks, such as mallards or weasels, numerous species of gulls, such as black-headed gulls, herring gulls or even black-headed gulls, from August on you can also see gray geese, goose geese, geese and, in the autumn, canada geese, avocets and oystercatchers.
