Zingst is an attractive holiday destination, beautifully located between the "Bodden" and the sea, offering an unequalled landscape with a white sandy beach 18 kilometres long, the primeval nature of the "Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft" (West Pomeranian Bodden Landscape) National Park, the silent beauty of the Bodden waters and the ever impressing picture of the blue sea. Here, the whole family will find varied possibilities for a regenerative holiday. And you can experience this at any time of the year! In the spring, when the first green comes out, anemones open up their white blooming stars, the air is filled with the trumpeting cry of thousands of cranes, the rustling swings of swans and the great frog concerts announce the awakening of nature ... In the summer, when the cool waves of the Baltic Sea invite for a refreshing swim, old and young alike have fun at the sandy beach, passenger ships depart for trips through the magnificent Bodden waters ... In the autumn, when the storm drives a salty spray across the deserted beach, forests show their colourful splendour, and in the evening, the sky again is filled with thousands of migrating cranes ... In the winter, when you feel the pure air in an especially agreeable manner thanks to the mild silence of nature, and the white frost creates its bizarre works of art ... Already our great-grandparents used to call their holiday guests as "Luftsnappers" (Lower German word for "air catchers"). They were right, because in Zingst its is the clear and pure air without anything else which turns out to be medicine. People under stress, patients with functional circulation disorders, or psychic disorders, but also with ailments of the respiratory tracts or with skin problems will find relief of their pains in our mildly bracing climate. Zingst ... the peninsula, located between the cities of Rostock and Stralsund, stretches today over a length of about 20 kilometres and a width of 2 kilometres from West to East, bordered by the Baltic Sea in the North and by the "Barther Bodden" waters in the South. The health resort of the same name has in the course of the decades developed from an old sailors and fishermen’s village to a well known Baltic Sea Health Resort without giving up its character as a village. Zingst.... a Baltic Sea Health Resort with tradition, where the first resort guests were welcomed already 117 years ago. The experience of hospitality, gained ever more than hundred years, is maintained up until today. Every year, the all round needs of thousands of holiday guests are catered for in newly built exclusive hotels, cosy pensions and in holiday apartments, holiday houses and rooms furnished with all comfort. Zingst... is always worth a visit, no matter if you "just" want to get to know the country and its people – or to really do something for your health – or to be very close to nature – or to make a very active holiday – or to simply have more time for art and culture.
