Your sailing trip on the Baltic Sea

What can you see on a sailing trip on the Baltic Sea?

Start your boat rental in Germany from Kröslin or Stralsund. Make a first stop on the island of Rügen, to enjoy the scenery. The white chalk cliffs in Jasmund National Park, which reach up to around 118 m high, are well worth seeing. Their formation dates back 70 million years ago. No wonder this national park, with its almost untouched beech forests, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The journey continues to Bornholm: here you can anchor in the capital port Rönne. The crossing will take about 12 hours. Enjoy the vastness, the sound of the sea and the sparkle of the water in the sun. Explore the old town of Rönne and let the old half-timbered houses and large gardens, hidden behind walls, make beautiful spots along the natural landscape. 

Make your way from Rönne to Hammeren. From here, fantastic hiking trails lead you along the coast. Plus, from the harbour, you get a great view of the largest castle ruin in northern Europe. Enjoy a picnic on its ancient walls and watch the majestic sunset from the top of the castle. Then swap Bornholm for Malmö and sail along the Swedish coast. Our tip: Malmö, with its large squares, beautiful boulevards and wide streets offers great conditions for exploring the city by bike. Then, sail along the Danish coast back to your starting point.

The best time to sail in the North and Baltic Seas is between mid-May and the end of September. Storms and strong winds can occur at any time of the year, so the weather conditions in the Baltic Sea are fairly consistent. Be prepared for cold nights, even in the height of summer.
