Summertime in Travemünde ...
That means miles of beaches on both sides
of the river Trave, that means beach-chairs, white sails on
the blue Baltic Sea, yellow rubber dinghies and snow-white
bay-steamers. It also means "Bungee-Jumping" and
the "Fontänenfeld" (literally: field of fountains)
-attractions (not only) for children. And it means "Travemünder
Fahnenmeer", a new idea on its way to become a tradition.

Sea of Flags" |

"Travemünder Fahnenmeer" will
be created each year between June and September. It will be
given a new Theme every year: 2006 these flags gave impressions
of participating countries of the World Football Championship.
2007 the theme was the Afrika-Campaign of UNICEF, since in that
year Lübeck has been UNICEF's German partner-town. |

Travemünde - so much to discover
...
You can watch ferries an freighters passing by on river
Trave - just a few meters from you, while you are sitting
in a café or restaurant. In summertime you may also
see some cruise-liners like the "Deutschland", in
Germany well known as "Traumschiff" (literally:
"Ship of Dreams"), being both, title and theatre
of a popular TV-show. By the end of August you may see windjammers
and other traditional tall ships, attending the "Baltic
Sail". And one of the famous "Flying P-Liners",
the "Passat", is riding at anchor at Travemünde
as a museum-ship.

Sports in and around Travemünde:
At the end of July each year the "Travemünder
Woche" is a highlight of the summer-season. Aproximatly
3.000 sailors compete in many boat-races on the Bay of Lübeck.
Ashore spectatores and visitors by thousands celebrate a week
of sports and party. Some of the races can be watched from
the beach.
Besides sailing there are opportunities to play or learn Golf
or Tennis. In Mai the traditional "Travemünder Stadtlauf"
takes place, in June the "Travemünde Handball Beach
Cup" and in August Germany's largest Boule-tournament
(Holstentor-Boule-Tournier). And, of course, our guests can
be getting active as well: Throughout the whole summer various
sport-courses will be held daily in Travemünde, and Travemünde's
surrounding is an attractive walking-area not only in summer.
