Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

A Baltic Sea coastal state in northeastern Germany, with Rügen's chalk cliffs, seaside resorts and old Hanseatic towns.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern lies in northeastern Germany, bordered by the Baltic Sea to the north and Poland to the east, with many lakes and a sparse population. Rügen is Germany's largest island, and the chalk cliffs of Jasmund National Park and the traditional seaside resort architecture are among its highlights. The historic old towns of Stralsund and Wismar are both World Heritage sites; the castle of the capital, Schwerin, stands on an island in a lake; and the Mecklenburg Lake District is great for boating. Summer is peak season for seaside holidays. Rostock is an important port with ferries to Scandinavia, and the state can also be reached by train from Berlin and Hamburg.
