By train to Rostock-Warnemünde: Plan arrival
Idyllic captain's houses, small fishing boats, dunes and white villas, a promenade with cozy restaurants and cafés - the seaside resort of Warnemünde is a picture-perfect vacation destination. Colorful beach chairs stand on the fine, kilometer-long sandy beach, which at 150 meters is the widest on the German Baltic coast. Warnemünde's landmarks include the 37-meter-high lighthouse from 1898 and the adjacent "Teepott" - the idiosyncratic building was designed in 1968 by Ulrich Müther, a master builder from Rügen, in so-called hypershell architecture and today houses a restaurant, among other things. Not far from the holidaymaker's delight is the seaport for large ferries and cruise ships. A few kilometers inland, Rostock's historic old town awaits with gabled houses along narrow streets, many cozy (fish) restaurants and mighty brick churches from the Hanseatic era. And the seven-towered, pink-painted town hall is enthroned on the former market square - its Ratskeller with good cuisine is considered the oldest inn in the Hanseatic city.
