Travel guide Wieck
The Climate You Can Expect on the Baltic Coast
The German Baltic coast is located in the temperate climate zone with continental influences. Since the Baltic Sea has only a relatively small water mass, it can only provide limited temperature compensation. Precipitation is expected year-round, with snow in the winter. In very cold winters, the Baltic Sea can freeze completely, serving as a cold reservoir into the spring. The best time to visit for a vacation in a private apartment on the Darß is during the spring and early summer months. February and March are usually quite dry, making them ideal for hiking and cycling in cool temperatures. The wettest month on average is July, with a 70% chance of rain. Temperatures can be very pleasant into the fall. In summer, it is warm enough for swimming with average temperatures of 20 to 23 °C. For a
beach vacation in Wieck with a holiday home in the resort town of Wieck, it is advisable to pack a windbreak. It protects against the fresh breeze, provides shade, and keeps flying sand away. In a sheltered corner, the perceived temperature is significantly higher than in an unprotected area.
Discover Beautiful Attractions Around Wieck
The former fishing village of Wieck has many beautiful attractions to offer. Near your vacation apartment, there is a small harbor directly on the Bodstedter Bodden. On the Darß, there are several historic captain's houses, which differ from the simple fisherman's cottages in their massive construction and size. You can find these houses in Wieck, Prerow, Zingst, and Wustrow, for example. The National Park Center Darßer Arche provides information about the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park. It also offers many cultural events and a children's program. A gallery for contemporary art is attached to the visitor center. From your vacation apartment, it is not far to Prerow. During a walk northward, you can walk on the pier there and enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the surroundings. Hike or drive to Darßer Ort, located at the northern tip of the peninsula. Here, the 35-meter-high Darßer Ort lighthouse awaits its visitors.
Music, Art, and Culture on the Darß
Experience culture and art, for example, at the Museum of Art in
Ahrenshoop. This private museum in Ahrenshoop originated from a foundation and initiative by committed citizens. In Ahrenshoop, there are further exhibitions in the Kunstkaten and in the Bunte Stube. The Künstlerhaus Lukas is available for cultural exchange for fellows. Every year, Ahrenshoop hosts the Long Night of Art, the Jazz Festival, and the Ahrenshoop Film Nights. In
Zingst, visit the Museum of Homeland in the former House Morgensonne, one of the magnificent captain's houses. For maritime enthusiasts, the harbor festival in Zingst on the Darß is a great experience. It takes place on the third weekend in April and celebrates the start of the shipping season with a folk festival. In September, shanty choirs let their melodies ring out. Additional festivals and concerts with artists from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and all over Germany provide variety and cultural diversity throughout the year.
Eating and Drinking in Northern Germany

Born, and also in
Prerow. If you are traveling by car, you can also drive to the larger towns or to the farm shops of the Darßer farmers to stock up on regional products.

A fine delicacy is the smoked fish, which is offered all along the coast. Not only smoked eel counts among the regional delicacies. Try hot-smoked salmon, mackerel, or smoked rollmops. For digestion, locals like to drink a "Küstennebel." This high-proof schnapps is served burning in small glasses.
