Tarnewitzer Huk, Protected area in Boltenhagen, Germany.
Tarnewitzer Huk is a nature reserve near Boltenhagen that separates Wismar Bay from Boltenhagen Bay. The site covers approximately 69 hectares and contains varied habitats where many plants and animals live.
The area was reshaped starting in 1935 when sand extraction and bitumen sealing created a military airfield for weapons testing. These changes during the Nazi period left lasting marks on the landscape.
The name comes from the German word Haken, which means hook, describing the bent shape of this coastal point. This geographical form shapes how locals and visitors experience the shoreline.
The core zone is closed to visitors for safety reasons, but the southeastern section has a marina and beach facilities available. Those wanting to experience the area can enjoy views from the public areas.
The site serves as a research area for natural development processes, where natterjack toads produce calls that carry up to 2 kilometers during breeding season. These amphibians are rare and their sounds rank among the loudest in the animal world.
