What is a Mammoth doing on the Beach?

Just a stone? Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's nature was shaped by the Ice Age millions of years ago. And even today, with a little luck, explorers young and old can discover the traces of the past. More than 30 adventure centers throughout the vacation state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern provide fascinating insights into the animal and plant world. This makes an excursion into nature a very special experience., © TMV/Molle&Korn

What is a Mammoth doing on the Beach?

Over 30 experience centers offer fascinating insights

Over 30 experience centers offer fascinating insights

Where mammoths trudged through the land many thousands of years ago, you can still discover the traces of the ice age that shaped our beautiful vacation country. Three national parks, three biosphere reserves and seven nature parks preserve a fabulous animal and plant world. If you want to immerse yourself in this realm of nature, the best place to start is one of the unique nature experience centers.

Did Mammoths have to go to the Dentist?

That's what many a little guest is sure to ask when they stand in front of a real mammoth's tooth at the Müritzeum. At Rostock Zoo, even a life-size mammoth is within reach.

At the Königsstuhl National Park Center, guests learn how the mighty forces of the Ice Age shaped the impressive chalk coast, and the rock garden of the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide Nature Park also provides extensive information about this formative past. It becomes brilliant in the Natural Heritage Center Rügen. Here the nature workshop invites once a week to amber grinding. With luck, even a small crawling animal from the Ice Age will come to light.

Experience and Understand Nature

Petrified hedgehogs, trees fleeing from the wind and wandering dunes - as they can also be seen in our film - this is how Mecklenburg-Vorpommern welcomes its guests. But you can also marvel at the wonders of nature in all the other regions of the vacation state.

In more than 30 adventure centers, young and old explorers learn to see this fascinating nature with different eyes. In the interactive exhibition of the Müritzeum, it bubbles and rushes from the giant screens in the entrance area of the multimedia museum, before it goes on a discovery tour through the habitat of storks and moray eels on a total of 2,000 square meters.

At the Rügen Natural Heritage Center, the path leads from the bottom of the lake up to lofty heights: in addition to a spectacular view from the treetop path, guests can also enjoy a multimedia exhibition and numerous hands-on opportunities in one of the center's craft workshops.

At Schwerin Zoo, on the other hand, you can immerse yourself in the Red List Center and experience the topic of species conservation, or travel through the realm of the great apes at Rostock Zoo. You can dive into an otherwise hidden universe in unique aquarium landscapes of the Ozeaneum in Stralsund and in the bear conservation center Bärenwald Müritz you can catch exciting insights into the life of brown bears on a forest hike. By the way, a relative of today's brown bears, the cave bear, lived in the time of the mammoth. If you want to learn how nature ticks, the adventure centers are just the right place.
