Germany: Coast and Islands of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
The coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with its islands Rügen, Hiddensee, Usedom and Fischland-Darss-Zingst, has become the favourite sea destination of the Germans. Safely kept away behind the Iron Curtain from the thoughtless commercial exploitation of the sixties and seventies, it could develop a more sustained and friendly tourism since 1989. The coast and the region beyond have kept their old charms.

Limestone cliffs of Jasmund national park, Rügen.
The famous limestone cliffs of Jasmund national park on the island of Rügen, seen in the pinkish winter light of sunset. The picture is taken from the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt viewpoint, called after an artist from the romantic period, who is known for his painting of this spot. Rügen was a favourite destination of German Romantics in those days. Photo Paul Smit.](/img/spacer.gif "Smit & Palarczyk > [GERMANY.MECKLENBURG 9448]

Flint field, nature reserve Schmale Heide, Rügen.
The Feuersteinfelder (flintfields) in nature reserve Schmale Heide south of Neu Mukran on the island of Rügen are very rare on Earth. They have been eroded out of the coastal limestone cliffs and been washed inland by the sea about 4000 years ago. Photo Paul Smit.
