Holiday in Baltic Sea Coast

About Baltic Sea Coast

The German Baltic Sea coast stretches for about 2,200 kilometers from Flensburg at the Danish border to Ahlbeck on Usedom at the Polish border. It offers a fascinating variety of white sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, historical spa architecture gems, and pristine lagoon landscapes. The imperial spas on Usedom — Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf, and Bansin — delight with magnificent spa architecture from the founding era: white villas, historic piers, and the longest beach promenade in Europe (12 km). The Ahlbeck pier, built in 1898, is the oldest pier in Germany and a landmark of the island. Rügen is Germany's largest island and is home to the Jasmund National Park with its famous chalk cliffs: the Königsstuhl rises 118 meters above the Baltic Sea and inspired the painter Caspar David Friedrich for his famous painting. The treetop path in the Nature Heritage Center Prora offers spectacular views over the beech forest. The Hanseatic cities of Lübeck, Wismar, Stralsund, and Rostock combine maritime history with vibrant culture. Lübeck's Holstentor and brick Gothic architecture are UNESCO World Heritage sites, while Warnemünde attracts visitors with its wide beach right by the harbor city. The coast also offers the Darss-Zingst peninsula with its ancient windbreak trees and the crane resting places in autumn, where up to 70,000 cranes can be observed at the same time.
