28th Week of the crane
Already in August, the cranes breeding in northern West Pomerania start to gather in the along the West Pomeranian coast. When the Scandinavian and Eastern European cranes join them in September, it’s time to welcome them. We want to celebrate this event with the „28th Week of the crane“.
