Tips from the Community
Great beach, quiet atmosphere, no crowds or tourists like on many other Baltic Sea beaches. Shallow water and fine sand. Drinks are available at the kiosk and food can be found at the campsite in the Oasis. If you want a beach, this is the right place.

A well-maintained beach with a sweeping view of the water. Food and drink are available at the mini-golf course or at the campsite (which also houses the Oase restaurant). The "Zierow Strand" bus stop is approximately 200 meters from the beach. A bus to Wismar departs every hour (30 minutes to the central bus station).

The great pond is the Mühlenbach. It is a regulated stream that meanders through the city center and is divided into different sections. In the Lindengarten you can stroll along the Mühlenbach and enjoy the idyllic nature. The Mühlenbach begins as an outflow of the Mühlenteich, which is fed by the Wallensteingraben. It leaves the pond on the western bank, passes under the Wismar-Bad Kleinen railway line and flows from there in a northerly direction. In the Lindengarten, south of the train station, the Mühlenbach is dammed. After passing under Bahnhofstrasse, the watercourse is called the Mühlengrube. The Mühlenbach played an important role historically: it was regulated as early as the 13th century to operate mills and to make it navigable. Barges transported goods such as grain, salt and herring. The stream was also used for washing clothes and supplying water. In the event of city fires, the flow of water was stopped by iron gates to dam up water for firefighting. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grube_(Wismar)
