Navigation

The approach to the well-lit harbour is possible by day and night. It takes place in the well buoyed fairway to Rostock with 161.6° to the light buoy 19 and then further to the unlit entrance of the marina. In the area of the west pier, up to 3kn current sets parallel to the coast, depending on the wind direction and strength. The entrance between the west pier and the east pier is closed to all traffic when ferries are entering or leaving. The traffic situation should be clarified on VHF channel 73 with Warnemünde Traffic.

Berths

 

Some guest places can be found in the small marina,water depth 2.2-2.5m. Due to the heavy shipping traffic in the sea channel, you can lie here, however, a little restless.

With around 13,000 inhabitants, Warnemünde is one of the largest holiday resorts on the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg. The wide, white beach of the Baltic resort, the steep coast, the beautiful hiking trails in the area and the idyllic fishermen's houses on the river make up the charm of the place, which is mentioned in documents as early as 1195.

The Rostockers annexed the then small fishing village in 1323 and still rule the important outpost to the Baltic Sea today. Parallels with Travemünde suggest themselves. As Travemünde was for the Lübeck Hanseatic League, Warnemünde was for the Rostock Hanseatic League of such outstanding importance for maritime trade that efforts for independence in the village were always suppressed. For centuries the village consisted of only two rows of houses. Until 1867, independent trade and shipping were forbidden for the people of Warnemünde.

Until the 20th century, a municipal bailiff administered the village at the mouth of the Warnow River. This and the maritime history is remembered in the Warnemünder Museum, a characteristic 18th-century fisherman's house in Theodor-Körner-Straße. Fishing was the most important source of income for hundreds of years - until ferry traffic and tourism came along. As early as 1903, the first ferry connection with Gedser in Denmark was established.

Binoculars were indispensable when the baths opened in 1834, as the distance between the ladies' and men's baths was over 100 metres. In a short time, the small, unknown fishing village became one of the most sought-after holiday destinations on the Baltic Sea, with posh hotels and guesthouses. Everything that had money and a reputation to lose came to Warnemünde. A casino was re-established in the Kurhaus.

In the workers' and peasants' state, the noble touch has suffered somewhat and also with the preservation of historical monuments it was not the best, although a number of cozy old fishermen's cottages are still preserved on the river and worth seeing alleys and streets in the village attract many tourists for a walk. In view of the summer hustle and bustle, however, Warnemünde can only be described as idyllic to a limited extent. The fine sandy beaches are certainly a plus point of the town, which offers numerous restaurants and cafés, not only on the promenade along the river.

The astronomical nature trail of Warnemünde leads to distant planets. The path through our solar system begins near the modern restaurant "Teepott" at the lighthouse. The distances between the planets have been reduced to scale, so that you don't have to wait light years to get back to your boat. Along the Alter Strom, the former sea connection to Rostock, you reach the Warnemünde lighthouse, which was completed in 1898. The 34-metre-high beacon has a range of 20 nautical miles and steals the show from the modern buildings. Among the new landmarks of Warnemünde, besides the Kurhaus, the Hotel Neptun is particularly striking already coming from the sea, as well as the facilities of the large Warnow shipyard.

All in all, Warnemünde is therefore a Baltic resort with small blemishes, but they are less important than in the southern Rostock.

Frisch renovierte Marina mit nettem Hafenmeister und nagelneuen Sanitäranlagen. Die Lage ist perfekt für Stadterkundungen und - aufgrund der Bahnhofsnähe - auch für Crew-Wechsel. Leider ist die nahegelegene Tankstelle Stand April 2023 trocken. Auch einen gut sortierten Yachtausstatter sucht man in Warnemünde momentan leider vergebens.
