The World Heritage old town of Wismar is absolutely a highlight. So many beautiful historic buildings and streetscapes are truly exceptional.

This beach near Redewisch is a little gem. From here you can see and also hike the cliff coast. Or simply sit and dip your feet in the water. A ramp leads down to the beach, which is also easy to manage for people with mobility impairments. We were almost alone here in May and really enjoyed the great sandy beach and the peace and quiet.

This church is definitely worth seeing, both from the outside and the inside, and it is located in a very spacious cemetery area that appears very well-kept. The particularly richly decorated east gable was unfortunately covered by scaffolding (May 2026). On the other hand, there is much to discover inside the church, for example the altar area with its Romanesque vault and Neo-Gothic windows, or the late Gothic triumphal cross on the southern chancel wall. For me, however, a highlight was the accessible sacristy (the oldest part of the church) equipped with antique furnishings for visitors. A special feature is also the patron's pew in the church nave, which demonstrates the outstanding position of the families who exercised patronage over the church community.

Wismar and its fish stands are legendary – primarily because you can still get the fish right where it belongs: by the water. The Old Harbour is the heart of it all if you're looking for an authentic fish roll or freshly caught fish.
