Fishing harbour at Baggersand
The small harbour away from the promenade: cutters, nets and boat sheds – here Travemünde still works on the water instead of marketing it.
On the Baggersand, ten minutes’ walk from the Vorderreihe, lies the seaside resort’s other side: fishing boats on plain jetties, crab pots, halyards slapping in the wind. If you want harbour romance without staging, this is it.
Right next door the sand sculptures fill the old boat halls – fishing harbour and exhibition make a natural pairing for a walk, especially in changeable weather.
Local tip: Go in the morning: when the cutters come in, the harbour is Travemünde’s liveliest spot for half an hour.
