Spooking in the Ghost Forest Nienhagen – Tip 6
A special highlight is hidden about 20 km away from the beautiful coastal town. By bike, you can reach the eerie forest via the Ostseeallee in about 50 minutes.

At sunset, mist surrounds the sparse trees, creating a particularly mystical atmosphere.
That’s why you should take a trip into this mysterious forest:
- Sea and forest meet
- Beautiful cycling paths
- Unique nature
