Visit Bad Doberan, the former summer residence of the Dukes of Mecklenburg, packed with grand examples of Gothic red brick architecture. A coach ride brings you to this charming city.
Bad Doberan's cathedral is distinguished by its rural setting, rare among medieval churches, towering above the surrounding meadows and trees unencumbered by narrow urban streets. Unlike most town churches, it lacks the scale for comparison that neighboring houses usually afford. Built between 1294 and 1368, this awesome Gothic church makes Bad Doberan a popular destination for visitors.
Board the Molli -- a historic narrow-gauge steam-train that has connected Bad Doberan to Kühlungsborn since 1886, and is still in use today. Puffing along at approximately 22 miles per hour, you will see Europe's longest avenue of Linden trees, known as the 'green tunnel'.
Upon arrival in Kühlungsborn, take a lovely stroll through this old popular seaside resort with a distinctive vacation atmosphere. Step inside traditional bakery for local pastry and a beverage (coffee) to take away and enjoy during your free time either on the white sandy beach or on the impressive wooden pier of Kühlungsborn.
Then, it's time to return to Warnemünde by coach.
Notes:
Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair, as participants must negotiate 2-3 high steps to board the Molli train and there is no space to store a wheelchair or scooter on the train. Walking is required; there are a few steps at the Bad Doberan cathedral. Surfaces are slightly uneven. Shops in Kühlungsborn are open on Sundays and public holidays. Bring local currency (euros) since not all shops accept dollars or credit cards. The tour sequence may vary depending on traffic conditions.
