Rostock

Make friends with Rostock, one of Germany's most beautiful Hanseatic cities - where the Baltic Sea laps the shores of Mecklenburg / Western Pomerania and the air tastes slightly salty, where old-fashioned sailboats provoke nostalgic longings, and where brick gables reach into the sky.

Eight hundred years of history have shaped this "Gateway to the North". Rostock has preserved much of the charm that it once possessed as the most important member of the "Hanseatic League". Come here and take a look at all we have seen, too!

Rügen

Rügen or Rugia is Germany's largest island. It is located in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Mecklenburg / Western Pomerania.

That's a well-known fact. But did you know that Rügen's total coastline is 140 kilometres longer than the total length of Schleswig-Holstein's Baltic coast? Or that Rügen is 10 times larger than the North Sea island of Sylt, but its population is only 3 times the size? Or that Rügen enjoys 100 more hours of sunshine than Munich each year? Come here and take a look at all we have seen, too!
