Prerow, Seaside resort in Vorpommern-Rügen District, Germany.
Description
Prerow is a seaside resort on the northern coast of the Darß peninsula with wide sandy beaches and coastal forests. The settlement stretches between the open sea and the shallow lagoon, creating a distinctive landscape shaped by both water bodies.
History
The area developed from a fishing community during the 19th century and received official recognition as a Baltic seaside resort in 1878. This designation marked the beginning of growth and the development of leisure infrastructure in the region.
Culture
The name Prerow comes from a Slavic word meaning "passage", reflecting the location between the open sea and the shallow lagoon. Today, visitors see how the village maintains its connection to the water through local customs and the way residents use both waterfront areas.
Practical
The beach slopes gently into the water and works well for families with children and extended walks along the shore. The area can be reached on foot via marked forest trails or by bicycle.
