Overview

Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Rostock’s charming port town of Warnemünde. Trace the town’s transformation from a Baltic fishing village to a seaside resort on this self-guided audio tour.

Despite being one of Germany’s busiest cruise ship ports, Warnemünde has retained its character and charm as an old fishing village with over 800 years of history.

On this walking tour, you’ll discover traces of the medieval village, which once consisted of just two rows of houses. I’ll point out the oldest house, Warnemünder Vogtei, which dates from 1605 but has foundations as old as 1300. I’ll show you some very pretty corners that most visitors miss and quiet spots away from the tourist masses. Yet, if you enjoy shopping, there will be plenty of opportunities for that too. After a stroll through the village park, Kurpark, you’ll arrive at Seepromenade (the seaside promenade) where you can marvel at the widest beach in Germany.
