The Baltic Sea certainly is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Germany. Besides long sandy beaches, interesting towns like Stralsund, Lübeck and Wismar are waiting for visitors. Hamburg, Schwerin and Rostock are also within easy reach. The island of Rügen is famous for it's impressive chalk cliffs. Just like the two other large islands in the Baltic Sea, Usedom and Fehmarn, Rügen is connected with the main land by a driveway. The region Fischland-Darß-Zingst, which in parts belongs to the national park "Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft", is also very intersting. Although these three islands grew together to one large, sickle-shaped peninsula hundreds of years ago, they still differ in landscape and partly even in culture. Activities like sunbathing, biking, long walks at the beach or bird watching are possible everywhere at the Baltic Sea and make a relaxing and diversified holiday out of a trip to this region.

Getting there: flight to Hamburg and rental car or by own car
