Rules
The island of Bock lies in the core zone of Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park and is closed to people. Watch only from marked points and roads, because walking onto fields scares whole flocks. Drones are banned over the national park.
About the place
The Rügen-Bock area, between Rügen and the Zingst peninsula, is one of the largest crane resting sites in Europe. In autumn the birds roost in the shallow lagoons and feed by day on the fields of Western Pomerania. The Kranich-Informationszentrum operates in Groß Mohrdorf.
