Warnemunde

Warnemunde is located in the resort with the same name in Rostock, Mecklenburg Region. The name means Mouth of the Warnow and is literally the place where river Warnow forms its estuary in the Baltic Sea. Sailors who set anchor here will find one of Germany’s best sailing grounds, a perfect place for kitesurfing, windsurfing, underwater diving or swimming. During summer months, international competitions take place in the port. Visitors who want to enjoy a good view of the Baltic Sea and also of nearby Rostock can climb the 37 meters high lighthouse. By it, the Teepot building is a prime example of East German architecture with its curved roof. Warnemunde was also the home for one year of Norwegian painter Edward Munch, author of the famous painting “The Scream”. His house can be visited at Am Strom 53. City’s Old Channel packs restaurants, pubs and traditional fishing boats and also a fish market where travellers can choose from Regional specialities.
