Top 10: First Vacation in Grömitz

A long walk through town is more than enough to get your bearings for the upcoming vacation—but a ride on our "Racing Benno" is just so much more fun!

Engineer Thomas Gröschke’s 20-meter-long beach train is a thrilling attraction for young and old alike. It stops right at the pier and offers tours through Grömitz and the surrounding area every hour on the hour from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, from April through October. With about 37 horsepower, the ride takes a good 30 minutes, during which you’ll discover the highlights of this Baltic Sea resort with him.

No excuses will be accepted.

If you’re spending your first vacation in Grömitz, you simply have to take a dip in the Baltic Sea at least once—after all, it’s everywhere here! While that’s no problem in the summer, it can be a bit trickier during a winter visit. But we can promise you this: a dip in the cold water will leave a more lasting impression than even the most beautiful seashell you find on the beach. We speak from experience: Every year on New Year’s Day, more than 600 people take a dip at our pier.

So, let's go!

You have to like fish—no question about it.

While seafood lovers will find a veritable paradise of fish dishes here, skeptics aren’t particularly impressed by the culinary connection to the sea. But maybe a first visit to Grömitz is a good opportunity to give it another try, don’t you think? In our numerous fish stands and restaurants, you’re sure to find something that can win you over with at least a small taste. After all, you don’t get this much freshness from the sea at home—do you?

A little preparation never hurts!

The book “Grömitz – Yesterday and Today” isn’t just a visual highlight for your bookshelf at home; it also provides you with the most important information about the “Baltic Sea resort on the sunny side.” How did the region actually come to be? What was it like here in the Middle Ages? How did Grömitz become a Baltic Sea resort, and what happened here during the world wars? Question after question is answered in this book with engaging texts and numerous historical images that will bring you a little closer to our Grömitz.

This is my first vacation in Grömitz, and there's something going on here every month!

We always keep our visitors up to date on the month’s highlights. From guided hikes and beach concerts to exhibitions and sporting events, we offer a wide variety of exciting activities every month—without you falling into the usual “tourist traps.” After all, these highlights are also marked in the calendars of Grömitz residents and people from the surrounding area.

Take a leisurely stroll while enjoying the view of the sea—it’s the perfect way to spend your time here.

This is sure to convince even the most reluctant shopper to explore the shops, cafés, and restaurants along our beach promenade. If you don’t feel like hunting for souvenirs, beach towels, or the town’s best ice cream, you can simply gaze out at the sea and watch the action on the beach and promenade—or, of course, turn right and flop down in a beach chair for a long break.

Of course, the best memories of your first vacation in Grömitz will stay with you—forever.

But you should still capture these moments with a very special photo. Here on our cliffs, we’ve created the perfect setting for just that—in the truest sense of the word. Our life-size picture frame offers you the perfect backdrop for your very special Grömitz moment.

Whether you're traveling alone or with your whole group— There's plenty of room here for lots of memories.

In Grömitz, in addition to all the new experiences, staying active is encouraged—without any effort, of course! Whether at dizzying heights in the climbing park, in the wave paradise at the Grömitzer Welle, or on a wild safari at the Noah’s Ark Zoo—boredom has no place in a vacation like this. At our playgrounds, while playing mini-golf, or even during a sailing or surfing course, you can put your skills to the test—and the stories you bring home will be the talk of the town.

With all the excitement, though, it’s important to remember to take a moment to relax.

An afternoon dozing in a beach chair or a morning with a hearty breakfast can work wonders. But for that final step toward relaxation, we recommend a long massage with our wellness experts. All you have to do here is let your mind wander, switch off, and enjoy the peace and quiet—we’ll take care of the rest with special care.
