Description
Warnemünde is a seaside resort within the city limits of Rostock, along the Baltic Sea and at the mouth of the river Warnow. It is also one of the world's busiest cruise ports. It is well known for its long sandy beach, stretching 3-10km (depending on criteria used). The spot is popular for sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing. Sights include the lighthouse built in 1897 and the nearby Teepott building with its curved roof.
Access & Transport
The Strand is connected by Suburban train (S1, S2, S3) at Warnemünde station, near the mouth of the river. There are also ICE services to Berlin stopping there (2h20 journey). Rostock has express train services (ICE) to Berlin (2h) and Hamburg (also 2h). There are also regional services to Schwerin, the state capital, in 1h. By car, Warnemünde is 12km north of Rostock city centre, 100km northeast of Schwerin, 190km from Hamburg (A20 exit Rostock-West) and 240km northwest of Berlin (A24/A19).
Instructions & Recommendations
Besides the city, other attractions in the area include the church of Bad Doberan (Doberaner Münster) and the amusement park of Karl's Adventure Village Rövershagen, both about 20km away but in opposite directions.
Environmental & Social
No carbon footprint linked to this activity. Some economic benefits to the local community but commercialization also has its drawbacks
