Where is Rostock?
Rostock Airport (RLG) is a small regional around 30 km (20 miles) south of Rostock. Rostock is a Baltic Sea town on the Warnow River with the largest harbor in the former East Germany. In recent years, it has become a popular stop for many cruise liners, as it is the closest port for excursions to Berlin.
Rostock has a beautifully restored old town with impressive facades and a few brick Gothic churches. Nearby Bad Doberan has a magical brick Gothic church. Heiligendamm, a small Baltic sea resort dominated by the very posh Kempinski Hotel Heiligendamm Resort, hosted the G8 meeting in 2007. It was a special event for Rostock Airport too – the planes of the top world leaders, including Air Force One, arrived at this minor airport from where the world’s powerful was helicoptered to Heiligendamm.
Baltic coast resorts of Mecklenburg West Pomerania are increasingly popular with especially families who enjoy the lower prices and less extreme heat in comparison to summer on a Mediterranean beach. The sea is calm (and mostly cold) but the atmosphere is relaxed and most resorts reasonably uncrowded.
Rostock is also a major departure point for ferries to Scandinavian destinations including Gedser in Denmark, Trelleborg in Sweden, and Helsinki in Finland.
