Baltic Shores: White beaches, dramatic cliffs, lonely lighthouses & fairytale castle (3 Days)

A bit about me, Maddy here, I am a Kiwi Indian living presently in Berlin having moved here in May last year with my partner from Sydney. Having lived in 5 countries & travelled to just under 40 countries covering 4 continents featuring numerous solo trips and creating new friendships along the way, I can say with a lot of assurance, you are going to have a great time on my trips. WHY GO? Let’s discover Germany’s wild north! We hike along endless stretches of unspoilt white beaches framed by the baltic sea and ghostly forests. We encounter a lonely lighthouse or two. Together we wander through a UNESCO heritage forest sitting on top of dramatic chalk cliffs that plunge into the emerald waters of the Baltic Sea. The cherry on top of our nature adventure is our visit to one of the most Disney-like castles in Germany – Schloss Schwerin and our stay in the charming Hanseatic harbour town of Rostock. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS? Jasmund National Park: Famous for containing Germany’s largest chalk cliffs & UNESCO heritage beech forest. Nienhagen Beach: A natural sandy beach, which is lonely for most of the year , offering peace and relaxation. It also offers a charming natural landscape with the contrast between the natural beach and the adjacent magical coastal forest area (ghost forest) with its rare flora and fauna. Warnemunde Beach: The sand beach, which is 14 kilometres long and the broadest on the German Baltic coast, scores highly thanks to its size, visual attractions and the vibrancy on the promenade. Schwerin Castle: Castle surrounded by lakes & forests that just makes it look like something from a fairytale. Ghost Forest of Nienhagen: The unspoilt ghost forest with its characteristic, crooked trees is something very special. "Where the wind mows the grass" is what the locals say when they speak of this magical place: Because the curved grasses of the forest are constantly exposed to sea winds, they always seem to stay the same length. Warnemunde Lighthouse: The lighthouse can be seen from almost anywhere in Warnemünde - and from 30 metres up inside the lighthouse you can see almost all of Warnemünde.A giant landmark that has been standing here over 120 years guiding sailors to safety in this the Baltic sea. Discover Rostock: The Hanseatic City of Rostock. Rostock was the most important member of the “Hanse” (Hanseatic League) and the city gained great wealth in the past. Nowadays fascinates its visitors with impressive monuments: gorgeous gabled houses, great churches with more than 100 meter high towers, enormous cellars, impressive gates and massive dams.
