A Son of the Rock

Third stop on our Baltic cruise last year was Warnemünde, North Germany. It lies at the mouth of the River Warnow and is effectively the port for Rostock, of which it is administratively part.

We could have taken trips to Rostock – or Berlin – but decided not to. The Berlin one involved a long bus trip would only have allowed a few hours in the city and Rostock wasn’t particularly attractive.

From the dockside on the River Warnow you have to cross an inlet to get to the main part of Warnemünde. Looking north:-

Looking south:-

Warnemünde is a nice wee place with quite a lot of modern architecture but in the town centre mostly older type buildings:-

One of its tourist attractions is this lighthouse, which is not beside the sea:-

I also spotted this windmill up a side street:-
