The beach in Börgerende is a real insider tip for everyone who likes it a bit quieter and more original than in the bustling neighboring towns like Warnemünde or Kühlungsborn.

The absolute trademark of Nienhagen is the Ghost Forest (Gespensterwald). The bizarre beech trees, shaped by the sea wind, look magical (and a little spooky), especially in fog or at dusk. A paradise for photographers and walkers.

The Strandgut Café in Kühlungsborn is an absolute classic for anyone looking for a relaxed, authentic atmosphere right on the Baltic Sea. It is located at the eastern end of Kühlungsborn (Ost), directly at the Grenzturm (border tower) and the transition to the city forest.

The Mecklenburgische Bäderbahn „Molli“ is much more than just a means of transport – it is a rolling monument with a healthy dose of nostalgia. The railway is still operated today with real steam locomotives. The hissing, the smell of coal fire, and the distinctive whistle are all part of the standard experience.

This coastal forest is far more than just a collection of trees; it is a living work of art by nature. If you are looking for an atmosphere somewhere between a fairy tale and a mystery thriller, this is your destination.
