Mecklenburg Baltic Coast

Vacation in the Cradle of Bathing Culture

Vacationing at the birthplace of the German Baltic Sea bathing culture - the Mecklenburg Baltic Sea coast is where bathing vacations for recreational purposes got their start: When in 1793 the Mecklenburg Grand Duke Friedrich Franz I, together with his personal physician, recognized that bathing in the Baltic Sea had a particularly beneficial effect on health, he laid the foundation for the "summer resort by the sea" with the first seaside resort Heiligendamm.

Today, in addition to the seaside resort of Heiligendamm, the Baltic resorts of Boltenhagen, Kühlungsborn and Graal-Müritz in particular are ideal starting points for those seeking relaxation, active vacationers , art and architecture enthusiasts and the whole family.

Here, where the interplay between history, tradition and modernity exudes a very special charm, you can discover ancient tree-lined avenues, wide fields, magnificent castles and manor houses, as well as sublime brick Gothic architecture, in addition to the seaside resort architecture of the sophisticated Baltic Sea resorts. At the romantic harbors along the Baltic coast, the Hanseatic charm and maritime flair of the seaside resorts can be enjoyed, while the fantastic sunsets on the miles of sandy beaches enchant vacationers.
