Magic Baltic Sea
(RUBY52)
€1,850
We are sure: Whether history, architecture and culture - whoever looks at the river landscapes on the Havel, Oder and Baltic Sea from the water for the first time will be hard to get off the deck. From Berlin, after a day's stay, you will travel along the Havel or Havel-Oder Canal via Oranienburg, Eberswalde, Oderberg to Lunow on the Oder, before heading via Stettin, Wolgast and Peenemünde across the Baltic Sea to Stralsund, Vitte, Breege and finally back to Stralsund.
Highlights of this trip - in addition to Berlin - are certainly Szczecin with its small port and beautiful old town, the former and 300 inhabitants "large" fishing village Peenemünde, the beaches and chalk cliffs in Lauterbach and of course: Stralsund. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city center impresses with a total of 500 listed buildings, a wonderful old town as well as with probably one of the most beautiful town halls in the entire north.

Berlin
Berlin is the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany. Due to its great historical and contemporary significance, the city has many sights to offer. First of all, some well-known landmarks should probably be mentioned here: The Brandenburg Gate, the TV tower and the Victory Column. In addition, all important government buildings are also located here: for example, the Reichstag with the famous Reichstag dome is definitely worth a visit. Furthermore, there are the sites of some important historical events to see, such as "Checkpoint Charlie" or the "East Side Gallery", a remnant of the Berlin Wall. There is also no lack of shopping opportunities, so among other things the Kurfürstendamm is very well known.
Eberswalde
Szczecin (Poland)
Szczecin is a Hanseatic city in Poland, on the Baltic Sea with a beautiful harbor and a unique old town. The landmark of Szczecin is the famous castle, plastered in white and with an onion tower. But also the Hakenterrasse with a view over the city is worth a visit. In 1693, St. Jacob's Cathedral was rebuilt and today, with its 110 m high tower, is part of the old town. A special excursion destination is the Dammscher See, at the mouth of the Oder River. Here you can sail or swim in the summer.
Wolgast
Wolgast, residence of the former Dukes of Pomerania-Wolgast, still convinces today thanks to its mixture of tradition and modernity. Worth seeing is the historical old town of the place with the St. Petri church, the baroque town hall and the many old restored manor houses. A visit to the zoo, city museum or even the Peene Bridge, Germany's largest balance beam bascule bridge, are highly recommended. If you have additional time, a boat tour is a good idea..
Peenemünde
About 300 people live in the former fishing village on the Peene River. Quiet it went in its history by no means: 1942 launched in Peenemünde the first rocket into space. From former military research center today tells the Historical-Technical Museum. Impressive example of engineering is the submarine Juliett U-461. The 86-meter-long colossus can be visited at the main harbor. To the lively Museum landscape in the northern tip of the island includes the Phänomenta. The interactive exhibition for experimenting and trial and error provides surprise even for adultsde aha-moments.
Lauterbach (Rügen)
The island of Rügen and especially the town of Lauterbach have a lot to offer. Beautiful beaches, unique landscapes, the chalk cliffs and the racing Roland, a nostalgic train that goes all the way to the mainland, can be experienced here. Of course, there are also seaside resorts, such as Binz and Sellin. Since the island is not very big, you can visit and get to know all the places in one day. Beautiful views can be seen from the cliffs. Lauterbach is a small dreamy place.
Stralsund
Many travelers see Stralsund on the way to Rügen only from the car. A big mistake, because the proud Hanseatic city is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful historical cities in Germany. In the 14th century, the city was even the most important trading metropolis in the entire Baltic region, next to Lübeck. No wonder, the entire inner city of Stralsund with its more than 500 listed buildings is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Numerous magnificent buildings in the old town of Stralsund still bear witness to its former prosperity. The steeples of the three mighty parish churches can be seen from afar. With a height of 104 meters, the tower of St. Mary's Church stands out in particular. From the 90-meter-high viewing platform, you can enjoy a dreamlike panoramic view over the roofs of the city and the sea all the way to Rügen. In addition to the churches, Stralsund's town hall is also one of the most beautiful buildings of the North German brick Gothic. However, Stralsund is not only worth a visit for people interested in history and architecture, but also for animal and sea fans. With the Ozeaneum and the Meeresmuseum, the Hanseatic city is home to two large marine museums and aquariums, which are particularly popular with children. The same applies to the small but fine Stralsund Zoo. Last but not least, ship lovers also get their money's worth in Stralsund, either on a harbor tour or aboard the sail training ship Gorch Fock.
