GERMANY ~ Map Island Hiddensee - The Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park ~

... Great map view and part of a new National Park... Hiddensee has a natural beach along the entire west coast of the Baltic Sea... cars are not allowed on the island... the ideal place to take a bike and go around the Island... stunning and peaceful place away from it all.... a landscape of cliffs and dunes, spits and lagoons...  the perfect destination for anyone who loves beaches or woodland....the national park is characterized by very shallow water housing a unique coastal fauna... all parts of the park are famous for being a resting place for tens of thousands of cranes and geese... with of course a wonderful special postmark... Big Thanks once more Dustin!!【ツ】
