Hanseatic City of Lübeck

Explore Lübeck on foot via the Old Town Island, where the Holsten Gate, Town Hall, St Mary’s Church and historic lanes lie within the medieval centre. The Hansemuseum and marzipan museum offer deeper insight into the city’s history, while Travemünde adds the Baltic Sea and its harbour to your cultural break.

Grömitz

Grömitz combines sandy beaches, a three-kilometre promenade, a pier and spa gardens with family attractions at Lensterstrand. A zoo, diving gondola and wave pool add more to the itinerary. Combine a day at the beach with animal encounters, active fun and a weatherproof swim.

Heiligenhafen

Heiligenhafen is defined by its old town, fishing harbor, and holiday park on the Steinwarder peninsula. Its beach areas, nature trails, Aktiv-Hus, marina, and Graswarder offer a range of places to visit. The right accommodation location can shorten the walk to your preferred beach and make it easy to combine a town visit with a beach vacation.

Southern Danish Islands

The islands in South Denmark are interesting places for holidays. Here you can find a lot of cottages for your holidays at the Baltic Sea.

Eckernförde

Eckernförde brings together a beach, harbor, old town, and Windebyer Noor, all within easy walking distance. The museum in the historic town hall tells the story of the town, while historic ships and fishing boats define the harbor. Schleswig and the Schlei are nearby options for a second day trip.

Travemünde

Travemünde combines a beach promenade, old town, and harbor with Priwall on the opposite bank. Passenger and car ferries provide access to its dune beach, the Passat, and the nature reserve. A walk along both banks of the Trave can be combined with a museum visit, ship-watching, and time at the beach.

Timmendorfer Strand & Niendorf

Timmendorfer Strand and Niendorf offer two distinct coastal destinations. Piers, spa parks and the town centre define Timmendorfer Strand; Niendorf adds a fishing and yacht harbour, a fish market and its fish-shaped pier. Together, they make for a varied day by the water.
