Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park

The Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park (Nationalpark Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft) is a large nature reserve at the coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It consists of several peninsulas and islands in the Baltic Sea, belonging to the districts of Rügen and Nordvorpommern.

The national park includes:

• the Darß peninsula
• the western coast of the island of Rügen
• the island of Hiddensee
• the island of Ummanz
• several tiny islets between the above places

The national park is characterised by very shallow water housing a unique coastal fauna. All portions of the national park are famous for being a resting place for tens of thousands of craness and geese.
