About Prerow
Prerow on the Darß is an idyllic Baltic Sea resort with one of the widest natural beaches in Germany. The fine sandy Weststrand has been repeatedly voted one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe and is nestled between ancient Darß forest and the open Baltic Sea. The former seafaring village combines maritime tradition with nature-oriented tourism and is the starting point for hikes through the unique Darßer Urwald.
