The Vorpommern Lagoon Area National Park (Nationalpark Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft) is a large nature reserve at the coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It consists of several peninsulas and islands in the Baltic Sea, belonging to the districts of Rügen and Nordvorpommern.

The national park includes:

  • the Darß peninsula
  • the western coast of the island of Rügen
  • the island of Hiddensee
  • the island of Ummanz
  • several tiny islets between the above places

The national park is characterised by very shallow water housing a unique coastal fauna. All portions of the national park are famous for being a resting place for tens of thousands of cranes and geese.
