Cliff Coast of Börgerende-Nienhagen

Highlight • Gorge

The steep coast in Nienhagen - consisting of ice age deposits - is a defining feature of the state-approved seaside resort and is therefore subject to strict protection conditions. Along the steep bank there are beach sections with fine sand that are ideal for swimming.

Nienhagen Ghost Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Nienhäger wood, the official name of the forest section around the seaside resort, better known as the ghost forest of Nienhagen, belongs to the forest of the Rostock district and is managed by the forest authority. The approximately 180 hectare mixed forest looks extraordinarily spooky, especially in fog or wind: when the trees, bushes and grasses growing here lay in bizarre shapes in dim light and are pushed towards the ground by the storm. When there is a strong storm from the direction of the Baltic Sea, it seems as if the gnarled trees with their sparse crowns whispered to one another in a wind-fleeing form.

We cycled along beautiful cycle paths, always along the sea.

Of course we didn't go through the Baltic Sea 🫣 somehow Komoot got that a bit wrong 🤷🏼 we went back the same way we went to the ghost forest. We were really unlucky with the weather on the way. Rain, wind and cold accompanied us for quite a long time, but it was still a nice tour.

Beautiful relaxed route for children and cones. Nothing for racing bikes, as there are too many pedestrians and recreational cyclists on the road.
