Itinerary at a glance

The marketplace of the Hanseatic city of Wismar is as charming as the beautiful nature along the Baltic Sea. You'll pass lighthouses and fishing villages, hop on the historic narrow-gauge railway Molli, and soon catch sight of Stralsund.

You start the tour in the magnificent old Hanseatic city of Lubeck which was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

In Travemünde, you can make a stop at the oldest lighthouse in Germany, then continue along the Baltic Sea coast. Through the Brooker Wald nature reserve you reach Boltenhagen, the second oldest seaside resort in Mecklenburg, where you can see the entire bay from the cliffs. Alternatively, you can spend the night in Groß Schwansee.

Today, the route mostly follows the shore to the beautiful Hanseatic city of Wismar. After an extensive tour of the historic old town, it is worth making a detour to the harbor.

Today, you have the option to visit the island of Poel. Take the ferry to this small island, where you can enjoy the tranquility and have fun swimming at one of the many island beaches. Alternatively, you can cycle along the coast to the Baltic seaside resort of Kühlungsborn. If you're staying overnight in Warnemünde, you can catch the steam-powered narrow-gauge railway "Molli" from Kühlungsborn, which will conveniently take you to Heiligendamm. From there, it’s just a few more kilometers to Warnemünde.

Before discovering the Fischland-Darß-Zingst Peninsula today, you can visit Warnemünde's beach, which is the widest on the German Baltic coast. Or how about a detour to the Hanseatic city of Rostock? In Warnemünde, you can catch the ferry to Hohe Düne and continue to the peaceful town of Ribnitz-Damgarten, located on the Saale Bodden and known for its Amber Museum. Alternatively, you can explore the former fishing village of Wustrow or the artists' village of Ahrenshoop.

Explore the Darß Forest and the wild, romantic West Beach, which is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. From Prerow, it can only be accessed on foot, by bike, or by carriage. Afterward, Cycle back to the mainland via Zingst to the former Swedish town of Barth.

Look forward to the last stage of your journey, the three towers of the Hanseatic city of Stralsund greet you from afar. Its former importance as a trading hub is still evident today. Enjoy the last evening of your trip through a stroll in the old town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its wonderful preservation.
