Warnemunde Beach Day out
Join us for an unforgettable day out to the beautiful white sand Warnemunde Beach. You will hike along endless stretches of unspoilt white beaches framed by the baltic sea and ghostly forests, where you feel the refreshing sea breeze, and let the sound of crashing waves soothe your soul.
Experience the magic of lonely lighthouses that stand tall against the backdrop of the Baltic Sea. These iconic beacons of light have guided sailors for centuries and hold fascinating stories waiting to be discovered.
Whether you’re a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or simply in need of a peaceful retreat, this beach day out has it all.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?
Ghost Forest of Nienhagen: The unspoilt ghost forest with its characteristic, crooked trees is something very special. “Where the wind mows the grass” is what the locals say when they speak of this magical place: Because the curved grasses of the forest are constantly exposed to sea winds, they always seem to stay the same length.
Nienhagen Beach: A natural sandy beach, which is lonely for most of the year , offering peace and relaxation. It also offers a charming natural landscape with the contrast between the natural beach and the adjacent magical coastal forest area (ghost forest) with its rare flora and fauna.
Warnemunde Beach Day Out: The sand beach, which is 14 kilometres long and the broadest on the German Baltic coast, scores highly thanks to its size, visual attractions and the vibrancy on the promenade. A Warnemünde beach trip may be the unexpected highlight of your summer.
Warnemunde Lighthouse: The lighthouse can be seen from almost anywhere in Warnemünde – and from 30 metres up inside the lighthouse you can see almost all of Warnemünde.A giant landmark that has been standing here over 120 years guiding sailors to safety in this the Baltic sea.
Discover Rostock (time permitting): The Hanseatic City of Rostock. Rostock was the most important member of the “Hanse” (Hanseatic League) and the city gained great wealth in the past. Nowadays fascinates its visitors with impressive monuments: gorgeous gabled houses, great churches with more than 100 meter high towers, enormous cellars, impressive gates and massive dams.
WHAT IS THE PLAN?
We take a mix of train & bus from Berlin / Hamburg to get to the beautiful seaside resort town of Nienhagen (hike starting point), where we would be hiking between Nienhagen beach & Warnemunde beach, one of Germany’s most beautiful beaches. We’ll say hello to an iconic lighthouse and walk 500m into the Baltic sea on a pier in Warnemunde where we grab a bite / drink before heading back to Rostock and then back home.
