Flint Fields
Feuersteinfelder
Expansive bare flint beaches on the Schmale Heide sandbar, where pale grey flint has been piled into long ridges, a rare geological sight in Europe.
Around 3,500 to 4,000 years ago, storm surges pushed large amounts of flint onto the shore, forming more than ten parallel stone ridges over an area of about 2 hectares. Surrounded by juniper and heather, the landscape is bleak and unusual. The site is a nature reserve, so you can only walk on wooden boardwalks, and taking flint away is prohibited. The entrance is at a roadside car park between Prora and Mukran, north of Prora. The round-trip walk takes about an hour and can be combined with a Prora or Binz cycling route.
