Suggested Programme
Day 1
Arrival and dinner at your hotel.
Day 2
As a start of your maritime journey, you will make a stop at Germans Amber museum in the monastery of Ribnitz. Amber glows like warm gold in the sun, burns and has the most amazing properties. Find out more of the “Northern Gold” and be delighted of 1.600 different exhibits. Special attractions include unique ambers and precious amber sculptures of the 16th and 17th century. Afterwards the tour will lead you to the Hanseatic city of Rostock. Explore the city with its churches, abbeys and city gates that will remind you of the early wealth of the town as well as its long history with your city guide. Then you will go on a panoramic boat ride from Rostock to the seaside resort Warnemünde. Discover the maritime flair with its fisher houses, lighthouse, ferries and cruisers as well as the beautiful beach.
Day 3
Visit the Hanseatic city Stralsund. This old town, surrounded by water, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has a unique historic building structure from the Middle Ages to classicism. After a guided tour, you will depart for an Island Tour on Rügen. You will pass Germany’s biggest cable-stayed bridge that connects the Mainland with the Island. Further on you tour you will get amazed of the beautiful beaches, tree-lined avenues, chalk cliffs, steep coats and piers. At Kap Arkona, the northern point of the Island, you will make a stop to have a walk along the coastline with its picturesque scenery or you take a ride on the little Kap-Arkona-Train. On the way back why not stop at one of the seaside resorts like Binz with its well-known pier and take a ride on the narrow-gauge railway called “Rasender Roland” if you like some rail-romantic. While you there do not miss a visit of the Hunting Lodge in Granitz on the highest hill in East Rügen.
Day 4
Today you will visit the sunniest Island on the Baltic Coast – the Island Usedom. Before that, make a short stop in Greifswald that was once part of the Hanseatic League and today still rich in historical treasures thanks to one of the oldest universities of the world. Numerous seaside resorts are lined up like pearls on a chain along the beach coast of the Island of Usedom and are worldwide known by their late 19th century architecture. Behind the coastline, you will find shady forests and the backwaters “Achterwasser”. Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin were sometimes even able to welcome Wilhelm II, which is why they are still called “imperial baths”. Before you leave the Island, why not stop at the fishermen’s village Rankwitz for a small snack of fresh smoked fish.
Day 5
We say goodbye to the Baltic Coast and depart for home.
