Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: Between Belle Époque and Lakeland
Fancy a holiday on the Baltic Sea or a break in nature? Then you've come to the right place at the B&B Hotels in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Whether city sightseeing in Schwerin or Rostock, island flair on Hiddensee or simply pure relaxation with spa and wellness in the Mecklenburg Lakeland - we sweeten your vacation with cozy rooms, free WLAN and a generous breakfast.
The sixth largest federal state is the most sparsely populated: fewer people live here than in Hamburg! But this benefits holidaymakers who can really switch off in the rugged beauty of nature and forget the worries of everyday life. The Baltic coast and the diversity of natural landscapes also give the region the name "Land of a Thousand Lakes".
In addition to elegant seaside resorts and white sandy beaches, historical UNESCO cities and around 2,000 castles, parks and manor houses offer culturally interesting excursion destinations. Culinary surprises include meat dishes such as Gestowte Wruken (pork belly with kohlrabi) and Schwarzsauer (pork shoulder with dried fruit, flour dumplings and bound pig's blood sauce).
The Baltic Sea, Hanseatic metropolises and larger cities
On the approximately 1,500-kilometer-long Mecklenburg Baltic coast are top destinations such as the Hanseatic cities of Rostock, Stralsund and Wismar. The red brick typical of port cities and the imposing gabled houses, warehouses and town halls testify to the wealth of merchants and traders during the Hanseatic period. Huge Gothic brick churches tower over the romantic places.
The varied coastal landscape of the Baltic Sea also includes 25 islands and peninsulas. The most famous are Rügen, Usedom, Fischland-Darß-Zingst, Poel and Hiddensee. Here you should definitely try fresh or smoked fish!
Rügen, with 930 square kilometers, is the largest island in Germany and offers fantastic views of the popular chalk cliffs. Here you can admire the picturesque seaside resort architecture in the seaside resort of Binz or walk on white sandy beaches in the seaside resort of Göhren.
In the larger cities, visitors enjoy old seaside resorts like in the times of the Belle Epoque and atmospheric harbor festivals. North of Rostock, for example, the "Warnemünder Woche" takes place in the seaside resort of Warnemünde. The successful combination of sailing and summer festival with a varied cultural program attracts around 2,000 active sailors from all over the world. A special highlight for your holiday.
Following the Belle Époque trail
In Schwerin, you can stay in B&B Hotels directly in the former residence city of the Grand Dukes. It is the oldest city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and received city rights from Henry the Lion in 1160. The impressive Schwerin Castle with its large garden and extensive park is also called the "Neuschwanstein of the North" and is now the seat of the state parliament.
Only a few steps away, the picturesque old town of Schwerin begins opposite with its magnificent buildings and villas from the past centuries. The castle and other stately estates serve as ideal backdrops in the summer, for example for the opera at the Schwerin Castle Festival.
But other cities also offer cultural highlights: Neustrelitz welcomes Germany's largest open-air operetta stage in the castle garden and in Ludwigslust the cabaret festival pulsates in the park.
The Baltic seaside resorts also experienced a heyday in the Belle Époque, but their origins go further back: a hundred years earlier, around 1793, Grand Duke Friedrich Franz I bathed in the Baltic Sea for health reasons. With the founding of the first seaside resort, he laid the foundation for a bathing culture that is still booming today.
In Mecklenburg alone, there are 29 spas on the coast, including the most famous imperial spas of Ahlbeck, Bansin and Heringsdorf. The island of Usedom currently has a high, if not the highest, density of recognized wellness hotels.
The lake landscape and national parks
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is the most rural state in Germany. Here you can walk through heath landscapes, discover three large national parks and go fishing in seemingly endless lake landscapes. One fifth of the state's area is forested and the waters make up about six percent.
The Vorpommern Bodden landscape near Zingst is the largest national park and at the same time the largest resting area for migrating cranes in all of Central Europe. The Jasmund National Park, on the other hand, is the smallest national park in Germany, but no less spectacular. Here are the famous steep coasts with their chalk cliffs and the highest elevation of Rügen, the 161-meter-high Piekberg.
Just an hour's drive south of the Baltic Sea is the wooded Müritz National Park. The largest lake and river area in Central Europe is also called the "Amazon of the North" because of its many small arms of water. The numerous waterways enclose the Müritz, the largest lake in Mecklenburg and at the same time the largest inland lake in Germany.
The Mecklenburg Lakeland is not only a paradise for anglers, hikers and cyclists. Water sports enthusiasts, canoeists and sailors on the Müritz or houseboat vacationers from Schwerin to Berlin can also relax wonderfully here. Got a desire? Visit us, we look forward to seeing you!
