The Ostseebad Prerow is a popular seaside resort and former artist colony on the Darß in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
background
The Ostseebad Prerow is one of the most beautiful seaside resorts on the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula. The place is in Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park, the Darßwald surrounding the Prerow, the various coastal forms and the varied lagoon landscape offers nature lovers the opportunity to discover a wide range of flora and fauna. The Natureum, a branch of the German Maritime Museum at the Darßer Ort lighthouse, also enriches the experience of nature in and around Prerow.
Active vacationers can enjoy the varied leisure time opportunities in nature and on the beach and the water sports options on the Baltic Sea as well as on the Prerower Strom and the Bodden, especially since beach walks and bike tours are almost part of the standard program of a vacation in Prerow. But fans of the extended beach life will also get their money's worth on the lively north beach and on the quaint, natural west beach.
The fishing village of Prerow can look back on almost 1000 years of history from its origins in the medieval Hertesburg to today's seaside resort. Prerow has been a shipping center since the 17th century, so there were three sailing shipyards in the town in the following two centuries. After the decline of sailing, Prerow became a bathing and health resort, which also attracted numerous artists, including the expressionist style.
The tradition of the bathing resort has been preserved beyond 40 years of GDR history. Then as now, the fine sandy beach of Prerows is populated by thousands of holidaymakers during the high season. Although very well developed for tourism, Prerow has partially retained its originality in the town center and still offers a certain tranquility, at least in the off-season.
getting there
By plane
The Stralsund-Barth Baltic Sea Airport is a regional airport located near Barth with traffic approval, which is currently not served by scheduled flights.
The next airport with regular scheduled services is the Rostock-Laage Airport
(IATA: RLG).
By train
The next regional rail connection is in Barth. The single-track branch line of the Usedomer Bäderbahn continues from Barth Velgastwhere connection to long-distance traffic direction Stralsund or. Rostock consists. Even in a little further away Ribnitz-Damgarten stop the ICs on the Hamburg - Stralsund route.
The route known as the Darßbahn led from Velgast via Barth to the Darß to Prerow until World War II. A resumption of the connection Barth - Prerow, which was partially dismantled after World War II, has not yet been decided. To do this, the bridge over the Meinigenstrom would have to be reopened for rail traffic and a solution found for the former embankment, which is now used by the Baltic Sea Cycle Route. The tracks up to the Meinigenbrücke are still there, so that this section would be relatively easy to reactivate from Barth.
By bus
The regional Bus route 210 connects Prerow both with Barth and with Ribnitz-Damgarten, the nearest train stations.

activities

The nudist tradition on the north beach from the GDR era has been preserved to this day.
- The West beach is located on the Darßwald and is much more original and rougher than the north beach, and therefore more the destination of those looking for peace and quiet than fans of lively beach life. From Prerow you can get to the west beach by bike, on foot or by carriage.
