Above the rugged coastline of this Baltic Sea beach lies a mysterious forest known to locals as Ghost Forest. The thin, eerie trunks and branches on the hilltop woodland mystify locals and travelers — especially during sunrise when the rocky shore below gleams against the twilight glow, illuminating the forest in the distance.

How to get there

This image was taken on the shore of the Hundestrand Nienhagen beach with a view of the Baltic Sea and Gespensterwald Forest. I was facing east to get this perspective of the sun rising over the sea.
The easiest way to get to this location is by car. I suggest parking in the Parkplatz (54.163765, 11.948952) near Ferienwohnung Ostseeblick Nienhagen, then walking to the beach. Reference the GPS coordinates to locate the exact place where I stood.
From Parkplatz:
- Head southwest on Kliffstraße toward Strandstraße
- Turn right onto Strandstraße
- Continue straight to stay on Strandstraße
- Turn left to stay on Strandstraß
