Alter Strom, Warnemünde
Alter Strom
Fishing boats moor along the old waterway, where colorful fishermen's cottages have been turned into cafés and fish snack stands. Smoked fish and herring rolls are sold straight from the boats.
The Alter Strom is the heart of Warnemünde. On one side stand old fishermen's houses with small front gardens, now filled with cafés, ice cream shops and souvenir stores. On the other side, fishing boats and excursion boats are moored, and fishermen sell fresh smoked fish and herring rolls (Fischbrötchen) from their boats. The cruise terminal beside the waterway is a good place to see giant cruise ships. From here you can take a harbor boat tour, or walk a few minutes to the lighthouse. The nearby old street, Am Strom, is also worth exploring.
