Holiday in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

About Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany's federal state on the Baltic Sea, impresses with a unique mix of kilometers of sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, over 2,000 lakes, and a tranquility that is unmatched. The sparsely populated land in the northeast offers more water than any other German region and is a paradise for sailors, paddlers, and nature lovers. The island of Rügen, with its famous chalk cliffs in the Jasmund National Park — immortalized by Caspar David Friedrich in his iconic painting — is the crown jewel of the coast. The seaside architecture in Binz, Sellin, and Heringsdorf on Usedom showcases the elegance of the imperial era with its white villas and piers. Usedom's imperial baths offer the longest sandy beach in Germany, and the German-Polish border location gives the island a special charm. The Hanseatic city of Stralsund, with its Gothic brick splendor and the Ozeaneum, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, as is the old town of Wismar. Rostock, the largest city in the state, combines university flair with the lively Baltic seaside resort of Warnemünde. The Mecklenburg Lake District in the interior offers over 1,000 lakes, including the Müritz, the largest inland lake in Germany. Houseboat tours through the lake district do not require a boating license and are among the most popular vacation experiences. Schwerin impresses with its fairytale castle on an island in Lake Schwerin, reminiscent of Neuschwanstein Castle.
