Me in a Cuban Bar with my first & last Cigar ever Being a center of maritime traffic, the district of Warnemünde comprises numerous navigational aids, the oldest of which is the lighthouse located near the beach promenade. The lighthouse, which is currently still in use, was built in 1897. In the summer period, the 40-yards-high tower allows for visitors to enjoy an impressive view over the Baltic Sea and the Northern districts of Rostock. The nearby Teepott (Tea Pot) with its slightly curved roof, the resort’s second famous landmark, is an interesting example of GDR-architecture. Built in the 1960’s and renovated in 2002, it today houses different restaurants and a sea voyage exhibition.
In the vicinity of the canal Alter Strom (Old River), with its various restaurants, pubs and traditional fisher boats, regional specialties are offered on a fish market.
Warnemünde’s broad, sandy beaches are the largest at the German coast of the Baltic Sea and stretch out over a length of 3 kilometers |
