Barth Travel Guide: 6 reviews and 29 photos

The small sea port is situated at the mouth of the Barthe River. It is the gate to the peninsula of Zingst. Of regional importance has always been the fishing port. Barth was founded about 1200 and developed into a sea port. During the 16th century Barth has been the temporary residence of the Pomeranian dukes, but has always been in the shadow of the mighty Hanse Town Stralsund. In 1588 the first Low German bible was printed in Barth.
