Ahoy, sailors! From the pier, it’s just a 400-meter walk to your next adventure. The cruise ship is waiting to take you on a voyage across Lübeck Bay. With the whole family on board, you can visit several destinations: Boltenhagen and Travemünde are definitely worth the trip! However, if you want to soak up the maritime atmosphere to the fullest, a Baltic Sea cruise is the perfect choice.
The view of Grömitz from horseback is also quite something. Especially from November 1 through March 31—because that’s when riding is permitted along the entire beach. The off-season is the best time to connect with nature and the horses—and especially so on the beautiful Baltic Sea beach. But the meadows, forests, and blooming rapeseed fields in the spring also offer wonderful moments of relaxation and plenty of variety for both experienced and novice riders. If you don’t quite feel confident enough for a ride like that, rest assured that a carriage ride is just as exciting!

Tips, Tricks, and Ideas for the drive to Grömitz with kids
If you’re driving your own car to Grömitz for a family vacation, you should think ahead about how to make the trip as comfortable as possible. After all, kids want to be kept busy during the drive, and sitting or lying down for long periods can quickly become boring and uncomfortable. To help you enjoy your family vacation in Grömitz right from the start, we’ve put together some practical tips for you.
Wear comfortable clothes
Pick out the coziest clothes for you and your family for the trip to Grömitz. It’s best for the kids to wear something comfortable so they feel at ease. After all, nothing is more annoying than sweaty skin and straps that dig in. Lightweight cotton fabrics work well here, as they help keep the skin cool. Of course, the kids’ favorite stuffed animal is a must-have for the trip to your family vacation in Grömitz, because it makes them feel so much more at ease.
The right time to set off
If you have a long drive ahead of you to Grömitz, keep an eye on your kids’ nap times. But that doesn’t mean you and your family have to set off in the evening—it can also be a good idea to leave early in the morning or during their usual nap time. This way, the kids won’t get bored, and the family will get to enjoy some precious, quiet moments.
Don't forget the sun visors
Sunshades are ideal for protecting little ones from strong sunlight. They’re very easy to attach to the windows.
Regular breaks
On a long drive to your family vacation in Grömitz, it’s a good idea to take regular breaks to stretch your legs. Quieter, less busy spots where the kids can run around are ideal. Fresh air and exercise are great for combating fatigue and bad moods—the perfect way to start your family vacation in Grömitz.
Snacks
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner should be enjoyed at a leisurely pace; on the way to Grömitz with children, rest stops are perfect for this. If the little ones get hungry in between meals, it’s a good idea to have some small, bite-sized snacks on hand in the car.
Toys, books, and more
Picture books or children’s favorite toys can sometimes work wonders. Children’s audiobooks or their favorite music can also make a long trip much more enjoyable for them.
