Tarnewitzer Huk, Protected area in Boltenhagen, Germany.

The Tarnewitzer Huk peninsula separates Wismar Bay from Boltenhagen Bay with 69 hectares of natural reserve containing diverse plant species and wildlife populations.

The area underwent transformation in 1935 through sand dredging and bitumen sealing to establish a military airfield for weapons testing during the Nazi period.

The name Huk derives from the German word Haken, indicating the geographical projection that forms this distinctive coastal landmark in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Access to the nature reserve remains prohibited due to safety concerns, while the southeastern section offers a marina and beach facilities for visitors.

The protected zone serves as a research site for natural development processes, featuring natterjack toads whose calls travel up to 2 kilometers during breeding season.
