NABU KRANICHWELTEN Nature Center: Field trip to observe the cranes’ evening flight to their roost on the Werder Islands

During the most beautiful time of year on the Vorpommern Bodden Coast—the cranes’ fall migration—not only do thousands of cranes gather, but also thousands of enthusiastic nature lovers come for “crane watching.” We aim to meet the ever-growing interest in expert-led excursions with our offerings.

For the excursions, we recommend warm, weatherproof clothing and sturdy shoes.
