Winter in Zingst: A cool breeze, followed by a visit to the spa

Things quiet down in Zingst in November. There are fewer people on the beach, the air is crisp, and the days offer more time for walks, leisurely breakfasts, and relaxing moments at the spa. If you’re already planning a getaway for January or February, you can also take advantage of our early-bird discount. And if you’d like to give the gift of time by the sea for Christmas, you’ll find the perfect offers in our gift certificate shop.


Active Outings on the Baltic Sea: Get Outdoors and Relax Afterward


Even during the cooler months, it’s worth getting out and about. A route about 13 kilometers long leads from the Kurhaus along the beach, continues over the dike toward Zingster Heide, and follows the Bodden to the observation tower. From there, the trail heads back along the beach. If you’d like to take it easier, you can shorten the route depending on your mood and how you’re feeling that day. With a little luck, you might spot birds resting or spending the winter in the coastal landscapes along the way. We’re happy to lend you a high-quality pair of Leica binoculars. For more tour ideas, check out our article Hiking Along the Baltic Sea.


Those who want to combine exercise with mindful relaxation can also take advantage of guided meditation sessions on the beach in Zingst. Please check with the provider in advance for current dates and conditions. After enjoying the fresh Baltic Sea air, the 1,400-square-meter spa at the Strandhotel Zingst awaits, featuring an indoor pool, a heated outdoor pool, and a sauna area. The fitness center also offers the opportunity to work out regardless of the weather. And sometimes, after a walk, it’s simply nice to spend a relaxing afternoon at the spa.


Fondue for Two: A Cozy Evening by the Sea


When it gets dark early outside, dinner can certainly go on a little longer. At the Oyster Bar and Restaurant Nautica, fondue for two is on the menu—the perfect way to wind down the day together.

The “Coastal-Style Fondue” for 89 euros combines beef and game broths with Baltic Sea beef tenderloin, local venison loin, and Argentine red shrimp. The “Cheese Delight” for 69 euros combines Schlossberger, Vacherin from Fribourg, and raclette cheese with white wine. Both offerings are priced for two people. Wild ham and country ham can be added for 14.50 euros.
