Family-friendly holiday resort close to nature

Endless beaches and a unique, almost untouched natural landscape. Martas guesthouses Zingsthof are just a few minutes' walk from the sea. Perfect for letting your thoughts fly free. Founded in 1929 by the Westphalian Student Bible Circles, the Zingsthof served as a refuge for the seminary of the Confessing Church under the leadership of Dietrich Bonhoeffer during the Second World War. Today, it is one of the most important places in Pomeranian church history in the pre- and post-war period.
