Cranes can be observed in the landscape of the Western Pomeranian coast, especially during the resting periods in spring and autumn. With a bit of luck, you may spot a flock of non-breeding birds during the summer months - young, not yet sexually mature birds or cranes wintering in the cold season. We would like to bring the ‘birds of happiness’ a little closer to the locals and guests in our picture shows in various facilities in the region, mainly during the resting periods.

 

“Crane worlds - A journey with the birds of luck throughout Europe“
Dates for 2025 in preparation
 
Experience the mysterious world of the cranes on their western migratory flyway together with the expert Dr. Günter Nowald. Cranes are one of the fascinating birds worldwide. Because of their graceful and mysterious dances, their trumpet like calls, their lifelong partnership, beauty and size people have developed a special relationship to these unique birds. This is reflected in the mythology, poems, legends and stories in a lot of cultures.

We start the journey from the traditional wintering area in the rough and original Extremadura in southwestern Spain and fly together with the birds of luck up to Sweden. You are hearty welcome.

Date in preparation
 
Again and again these large grey birds draw our attention. Their strong calls let us take a rest and focus our view towards the sky.

In his picture-show, Karsten Peter would like to steep with you into the life of the cranes. Large flocks, intraspecific fights and courtship dances are typical scenes during the main staging periods of cranes. But quite secretly is the view into the breeding areas of cranes.

From time to time Karsten Peter interrupts his slide show about the crane year with some special poems and legends to guide you into the mythical world of the graceful birds.
