Nationalpark Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft
There are six villages on the peninsula - Wustrow, Ahrenshoop, Born, Wieck, Prerow and Zingst. Between the peninsula and the mainland there is a very shallow lagoon (Low German: "bodden"), the Saaler Bodden, which is part of the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park, together with the peninsula.
