Rostock District

A spa resort area along the Baltic Sea coast, featuring white seaside architecture, steam trains, and brick Gothic churches.

Rostock District is located in northern Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, surrounding the city of Rostock and bordering the Baltic Sea to the north. Kühlungsborn features a long seaside promenade and pier, while Heiligendamm is famous for its pure white resort architecture. The Molli narrow-gauge steam train connects these two places with Bad Doberan, whose minster is a masterpiece of Brick Gothic architecture. Along the coast, there are also the Nienhagen Ghost Forest, the Bastorf Lighthouse, and the Salzhaff lagoon near Rerik. Inland, Güstrow Palace is a fine Renaissance building. Summer is the best time for a seaside holiday. The gateway is Rostock, which is easily accessible by train and road.
