Welcome to Travemünde
|
|
| Travemünde basks in an
international reputation as one of the oldest resorts on the Baltic.
"Lübeck´s beautiful daughter", as the one-time fishing village at the mouth of the River Trave likes to be called, has been part of the venerable Hanseatic city since 1320. Year after year, the renowned Baltic destination draws visitors in their hundreds of thousands. |

Travemünde´s broad seafront promenade was officially opened in 1908 and still ranks among the most attractive in Europe today.
Europe´s highest lighthouse beacon (on the roof of the 117-Metre-tall Maritim Hotel) shines down on a scene of seaside enjoyment dominated by a fine-sand beach, extending 4,5 kilometres and wider at this point than anywhere else on
Germany´s Baltic coast. Yachting, fishing and ferry harbours complete the picture. |
|
| "Travemünder Woche" comes to town each July. First held in 1898, the international regatta has developed into a truly global phenomenon, with thousands of sailors competing on up to ten different
courses around the bay of Lübeck. The
world´s second-largest sailing event, which incorporates a full programme of attractions on land, is regularly attended by several hundred thousand visitors. |

On the Priwall Peninsula, diagonally opposite the
beach, is the emblem of Travemünde: the Passat, the last of the big German windjammers. Built in 1911, she rounded Cape Horn no fewer than 39 times and circumnavigated the world in 1932 and 1948. She finally weighed anchor in the port of Travemünde in 1959. Visitors can look around the four-masted barque, which is under a preservation order;
it´s even possible to stay overnight.
