1,700 kilometres of coastline and beaches, 2,000 lakes - what more swimming could you ask for? Enjoy the pure air, the clear water, the brilliant colours and the distant horizons.
And when you've had enough of admiring sandy white beaches and towering chalk cliffs, there are plenty of cultural attractions - Schwerin and its impressive castle, the Hanseatic town of Rostock with its Gothic, red clinker brick architecture and Wismar, a UNESCO world cultural heritage site, to mention only a few. All this and much, much more contributes to the robust charms of the north
of Germany, which extends the warmest of welcomes.
