Visitor magnet on the Bay of Lübeck
Travemünde is located at the south-western tip of the Bay of Lübeck, directly at the mouth of the River Trave. Today, the holiday resort is one of the largest ferry ports in northern Europe and so there is always something to see on the "Vorderreihe": passing ferries, sailing boats, windjammers, freighters and cruise ships entering and leaving Travemünde harbour. The fine sandy beach, the romantic old town, the beautiful natural surroundings and numerous events also make Travemünde so popular with holidaymakers.
Historical charm and high life in Travemünde
The Lübeck seaside resort offers plenty of variety and real Baltic Sea classics such as the 4.5 kilometre long, fine sandy beach in Travemünde and the wide sandy beaches on the Priwall peninsula, which can also be reached by ferry.

Its many regattas and the popular festival atmosphere along the shore attract millions of visitors every year.
The Pötenitzer Wiek and Dummersdorfer Ufer / Stülper Huk nature reserves, on the other hand, offer solitude and tranquillity. Shopping fans and connoisseurs will get their money's worth on the "Vorderreihe", the beach promenade and in Travemünde's pretty historic old town. After dark, the "Travemünde Magic of Lights" often takes place, with countless lights illuminating the Godewindpark.

Speaking of open-air activities right by the sea - yoga, Qi Gong, sailing, surfing, SUP, cycling or hiking, Travemünde is also ideal for being active on holiday.
