Breathe in the salty air, immerse yourself in unspoilt picture-book landscapes and lose track of time on the beach - camping on the Bay of Wismar offers all this and much more. Here, at one of the southernmost reaches of the Baltic Sea, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania can be experienced from its natural, maritime side. Peace and tranquillity characterise the island of Poel and the Klützer Winkel, while the Hanseatic city of Wismar attracts visitors with its charming harbour flair.

Special features of camping on the Bay of Wismar

The campsites on the Bay of Wismar cater for different needs. If you want to combine camping with a city holiday, there is a motorhome park with 85 pitches at Wismar's western harbour, which is open all year round. The historic centre of the Hanseatic city is within walking distance. Various shopping facilities are in the immediate vicinity.

Get out into nature at the ultra-modern Baltic Sea camping holiday park in Zierow, which offers a wide range of leisure activities for young and old. In Niendorf on the Wohlenberger Wiek, 80 metres from the Baltic Sea, there is a 4-star campsite that is also characterised by its family-friendliness and high level of comfort. The Timmendorf lighthouse campsite on the west coast of the island of Poel, on the other hand, boasts a bathing beach with a nudist area, a surfing spot and a sailing school.

How to get there

The campsites on the Bay of Wismar are easy to reach by caravan or motorhome. Wismar is around 130 km from Hamburg and around 245 km from Berlin. If you are spending your camping holiday in the Hanseatic city, take the A20 motorway from the west or east. From the south, the A14 motorway takes you to your destination, which runs from Karstädt in Brandenburg via Schwerin to Wismar.

The island of Poel is located around 10 kilometres north of Wismar. It is connected to the mainland in the south-east by a causeway that crosses a 1 km narrow strait known as the Breitling. From Wismar, you can reach the green island via the B105 federal road and the L121 state road. Incidentally, it is not possible to refuel on the island of Poel. However, in the fishing village of Redentin directly on the Bay of Wismar, holidaymakers can stock up on fuel and fresh bread rolls before crossing the causeway. The hinterland of the Baltic Sea coast, as the Klützer Winkel is also known, can be reached from Wismar via the B105 main road or the L01 country road. Guests can reach the spa campsite in the Baltic seaside resort of Boltenhagen from the A20 motorway via the Grevesmühlen/Boltenhagen exit.

Destinations for camping in the Bay of Wismar

In addition to the uninhabited island of Walfisch, the Bay of Wismar is also bordered by the island of Poel, located between Salzhaff and Wohlenberger Wiek. The 37-square-kilometre island, which legend has it was created by giants, is home to three charming seaside resorts: Gollwitz, Schwarzer Busch and Timmendorf-Strand. Also ideal for a voyage of discovery:

Wismar: Hanseatic city with a Swedish past

Wismar's skyline is dominated by three imposing brick churches. The old town exudes a great deal of Hanseatic charm with its cobbled streets and magnificent gabled houses and has even been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002.

The fact that Wismar once belonged to the Kingdom of Sweden is evident in the town's oldest town house, which is aptly named Alter Schwede (Old Swede). The Commander's House and the wooden Swedish heads at the Old Harbour are also reminders of this historic era.

Klützer Winkel: dazzling and tranquil at the same time

The Klützer Winkel is a tranquil place with its dreamy villages, pretty manor houses and unspoilt sandy beaches. Bothmer Castle, which is located in the middle of an idyllic park and is the largest baroque castle complex in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, is a particular gem. In the Baltic seaside resort of Boltenhagen, visitors can walk across the sea on the 290-metre-long pier and marvel at the legendary Gorch Fock in miniature format in the Buddelschiffmuseum. A trip on the narrow-gauge railway De Lütt Kaffeebrenner, which snorts through the unspoilt landscape between Klütz and Reppenhagen at a leisurely pace, is also worthwhile.

Activities and excursions

The Bay of Wismar invites you to enjoy a variety of natural and cultural experiences.

Active on and by the water

A camping holiday on the Baltic Sea offers unforgettable maritime pleasures, whether it's surfing or a boat trip to the bird paradise of Langenwerder. The calm waters of the Salzhaff are a popular sailing area. The sports boat and fishing harbour in Kirchdorf, the main town on the island of Poel, is a real insider tip for excursions at sea. Cycling tours along the coast are recommended, as are exciting hours at the Wonnemar leisure pool in Wismar, where wellness and water entertainment are on the programme. Passenger ships depart from the old harbour for harbour and sea tours.

A day at the museum

If you are interested in the history of Wismar, the World Heritage House is a must. It is housed in a medieval ensemble of buildings and boasts interactively designed themed rooms and an astonishing wallpaper room. In the Kirchdorf local history museum, you can discover interesting facts about the settlement, Swedish period and postal history of Poel. An adjoining miniature park provides insights into the building culture of the islanders. The Uwe Johnson Literature Centre is housed in a granary in Klütz. It is dedicated to the life and work of the world-famous writer, who used Klütz as a model for describing a small Mecklenburg town in his novel Jahrestage.

Gastronomy

In culinary terms, the Bay of Wismar is famous for its fish. A fish roll with pickled Bismarck herring and onions is almost a must-try. In spring, the Wismar Herring Days are a delightful event. After the traditional landing of the herring at the old harbour of the Hanseatic city, the silver of the seas - whether as rollmops, matjes or fried herring - is celebrated extensively for a fortnight. Eel in jelly is also considered a real speciality of the Bay of Wismar. The restaurants also serve typical regional sour meat and Mecklenburg goulash flavoured with bacon. Tüften, as potatoes are also known on the Mecklenburg Baltic coast, are a popular side dish. Those with a sweet tooth can indulge in red fruit jelly or Klüten with apples, a compote refined with dough balls.

Best time to visit

The Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is characterised by a high level of sunshine. This also applies to the Bay of Wismar, where the weather is characterised by a continental climate with a maritime influence. Cold winters and warm summers are the rule.

The months of July and August are ideal for a beach holiday. The average maximum temperature then rises to 20.5 degrees Celsius, while the average water temperature is 17 degrees Celsius. Fine sandy beaches and imposing cliffs make being outdoors all the more blissful.

Holidaymakers on the Bay of Wismar should take a deep breath and exhale for a long time at any time of year. The mild, stimulating climate has an almost health-promoting effect and invites you to go cycling and hiking in the fresh air. In winter, you can even go ice skating in the natural paradise of the Salzhaff.
