Group tour suggestion: Northern Germany by Steam

Detailed information for journey "Northern Germany by Steam"

Basic package for your special interest tour Northern Germany :
4 days / 3 nights

Day 1: Arrival

On your first day you travel individual to Rostock. After you checked into the hotel, a Welcome dinner (3-course-menu) at the hotel awaits you.

Day 2: Rostock and "Molli"

After a restful night you will get to explore Rostock during a guided tour on a historic tram. Afterwards you should'nt miss a visit of the public harbour Rostock where you will get to know the maritime flair of this hanseatic city. The highlight of the day is a steam train ride on "Molli" which is a popular railway of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The railway takes you from Bad Doberan to Kühlungsborn and return. Our tip: Don’t forget your camera to capture the extraordinary view during the ride!

Day 3: Rügen Island

Very typical for Northern Germany are the islands in the Baltic sea. We recommend to make a daily trip to Rügen Island which is the largest one. You get to visit the National Park “Königsstuhl” on Rügen Island. Worth a visit is the ancient beech forest almost untouched by humans’ hands which is an UNESCO World Heritage since 2011. Furthermore, another steam train ride is waiting for you: The steam train railway lovingly called "Rasender Roland" (in English: Speeding Roland) takes you along a varied landscape from Binz to Göhren. After this exciting train ride you end up the day with a leisurely stroll through the pedestrian zone of one Baltic resort. Have a look at the spa-style architecture which is very typical for Northern Germany.

Day 4: Individual departure

After your three days in Northern Germany we wish you a pleasant way home. We hope you have had a great time and an unforgettable group tour! It would be our pleasure to organise the coach transfer to the train station or airport for you.

As an alternative, you also can extend your group tour for a few more days! What about an excursion to Hamburg, lovingly called the "pearl of the north"?
