Wernemunde-Rostock Information
Tuesday, July 20th
Rostock is the main city – Wernemunde is its port town.
Baltic Coast Spas
The Baltic coast west of Wernemunde is lovely. A good trip for the day would be to take a bus from Rostock or from the ship to Bad Doberan, hop on the Molli (coastal train), and go to Heiligendamm for lunch and to see how the Germans vacation.
The ship will offer a tour that goes this way, but it should be easy to
“roll your own”.
To get from the cruise ship terminal to Bad Doberan:
Take the 119 bus going west. The bus stop may be one trolley stop towards Rostock. The 119 goes directly to Bad Doberan and stops downtown next to the Molli line.
To get back to Bad Doberan by bus from along the Molli line, take the 104, 121, or 103 busses.

Kruzin, this is how we went to Bad Doberan.
We had the Tageskarte (day pass), 6,40 euros
We caught the train and in 2 minutes we were at the Warnemunde Werft. Which is the first stop. When you get off the train turn right and climb the stairs that will take you over the train tracks. There will be a bus stop with shelter on the right side of the street.
Go on the Bus 119 to Bad Doberan bahnhof---we are glad that we went on the bus to Bad Doberan since it was a nicer scenery than seeing rail road tracks. The bus to Bad Doberan was a little over 30 minutes. Very clean, modern, nice and comfortable bus.
The ticket to Helligendamm was 10 euros on the Mollie train. There is a WC on the right side of the ticket office but you need to ask for the key.
Besides the resort at Helligendamm, there are trails through the woods.
If you want to see the cathedral at Munster,from the Mollie train, get off at Stadtmitte.
I know that you don't want to go to Rostock but I thought that I'd tell you that we used our day pass to go to Rostock on the express train and after touring Rostock, we returned to Warnemunde.
You can also use the day pass to go on the ferry, if you want to take photos of your ship.
If you need to use the ATM in Warnemunde, there is a bank in the same building as the post office on the left side and across the street on the right side, another bank
I tried looking for the excursion that Heinbloed made but don't know how to find it on the board. I have only the one that he made for us which is different. Hopefully he will be able to tell you where to locate it because it has photos and details.
Enjoy your excursion.
Here’s a travel story by a couple that went from Wernemunde to the coast. http://www.brentjes.com/Germany.html
What to do in Bad Doberan
Go to the cathedral on KlosterStrasse. It is one of the best examples of middle age German architecture – one of the few standing after WWII. Be sure to go in and check out the ceiling.
Stroll down Alexanderinenplats and August-Bebel-Strasse. Watch out for trains at quarter to and quarter past the hour on Mollistrasse.
Hey. If you are there between August 13th and 15th you can go to the Frank Zappa festival. No fooling.
What to do in Heiligendamm
Stay on the train.
What to do in Kühlungsborn
Walk along the “board walk”. Go to Café Melange and try the wafers with cream. Or go to highly rated Kühlungsbrau (Ostsee Brauhous) for beer, roast potatoes.
Ride on the ferris wheel. (If it’s operating; if you dare.)
Tallinn Information
Thursday, July 22nd
Walking tours.
Best tour program: http://www.traveller.ee/file/Home.html
These are musicians and other young people who guide during the day to supplement income. Highly recommended.
Another possibility: Get a guide (or combine the walking tour with a guide)
Taxis are the main mode of transport.
But don’t use the predatory taxis by the dock. Call for a taxi using one of the recommended firms, like Maribou.
