Baltic Sea Resort Nienhagen

Highlight • Settlement

The Ostseebad Nienhagen is located directly on the coast between Warnemünde and Heiligendamm. A natural sandy beach, which is lonely most of the year, offers recreation especially to those guests who are looking for peace and relaxation. On foot or by bike, a delightful natural landscape invites you to be fascinated by the contrast between the natural beach and the adjoining enchanting coastal forest area with its rare flora and fauna.

Nienhagen Ghost Forest

Highlight • Forest

The steep coast in Nienhagen - consisting of ice age deposits - is characteristic of the state-recognized seaside resort and is therefore subject to strict protective conditions. Along the steep bank there are stretches of beach with fine sand that are ideal for swimming.

However, caution is also advised: because the cliff is constantly affected by falls, landslides and rockfalls, especially after heavy rainfall, frost, storms or floods. Therefore, for your own safety, the information and warning signs should be respected and observed. Every year the bank recedes by about 25 centimeters. As a result, sand has to be transported from the sea to the coast again and again.

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.
