Graal-Müritz for photographers

Graal Müritz, idyllically situated on the Baltic Sea, is not only a paradise for beach lovers and nature lovers, but also offers a wealth of photo motifs for passionate photographers. From picturesque coastal landscapes, the splendor of the rhododendron flowers to historic fishermen's huts, there are numerous places and motifs here that are worth capturing with your camera.

Highlights

Flower splendour in the Rhododendron Park

In May and June, when the rhododendrons are in full bloom, the park turns into a colorful paradise for photographers. 

It's the ideal time to unpack your macro lens (e.g. 90mm) and watch the bees at work. Or you can photograph the hustle and bustle in the park with a standard lens. No matter what, in spring the Rhododendron Park is a highlight for every photographer.

The wild beauty of Torfbrücke

Away from the beaten tourist track, you will find almost untouched nature and wide beaches in Torfbrücke. A paradise for nature photographers.

 

sunset at the beach

Graal Müritz is known for its breathtaking sunsets over the Baltic Sea. Use the golden hours of the day to photograph the sky in spectacular colors as the sun sinks behind the horizon and scatters its warm light over the water and the beach.

Tip: The best lighting for your photos is in the early evening. The sandy beach and the groynes form the perfect foreground for the picturesque sunset over the Baltic Sea.

Try a long exposure with a tripod. Your photos will look as if time stands still.

Coastal forest & moor

Coastal forest – Atmospheric light shows: The light that falls through the trees creates a unique atmosphere in the coastal forest, which photographers can use for atmospheric shots. 

Motifs for every taste: Whether the rustic windbreaks, dune landscapes or broken cliffs – the coastal forest offers photographers a variety of motifs.

To the east of Graal-Müritz is the large Ribnitz high moor. Capture the mystical atmosphere of this place with your camera in the early morning or at blue hour.

The Rostock Heath & the Ribnitz Moor

Rostock Heath – Unique landscape: The Rostock Heath with its wide sandy areas, juniper trees and heather fields offers photographers unique motifs. 

Photo motifs as the seasons change: In spring, the heath shines in lush green, while in autumn the colourful deciduous trees delight.

Tip:
To the east of Graal-Müritz is the Ribnitzer Moor. Capture the mist over the moorland early in the morning or at blue hour. A mystical atmosphere in your photos is guaranteed.

Animal photography around Graal-Müritz

Graal-Müritz offers, especially in the surrounding nature reserves such as the Rostock Heath and the Ribnitzer Moor fantastic opportunities for wildlife photographers. .

The Rostock Heath, the largest contiguous forest area in Northern Germany, is known for its diverse flora and fauna. 

In the Ribnitz Moor you can often observe waterfowl and other animals in the early morning in the quiet of the awakening day.

A 100-400mm telephoto lens is ideal for photographing animals from a safe distance and without disturbing their natural behavior. Guided excursions are also offered, which provide valuable information on animal observation.

Tip:
In addition, photographers can document numerous smaller animal species and insects on the “Discovery Trail for Biological Diversity” (starting at Köhlerhof Wiethagen) in the Rostock Heath, where a macro lens can be of great use.
