Graal-Müritz - Nature and Culture in a Dreamlike Combination

What could be better than:

• Simply lazing in the sun.
• Feeling the fine sand of the Baltic Sea beaches under your feet and taking a walk.
• Discovering your builder’s instinct building sand castles.
• Playing volleyball.
• Feeling the sea breeze touch your face.
• Flying a kite.

A 5 km long and up to 40 meter wide sandy beach, fine and free of any stones, awaits you. In any kind of weather and in every season the beach here is a pleasure. Too windy? Simply rent wicker beach chair for sheltered enjoyment of the sun. In clothing suited to the weather the sea is a fascinating spectacle in the wind.
For friends of textile-free bathing there is a broad section of the coast designated as nudist beach (marked as FKK).

On the "Textile Beaches" qualified lifeguards watch over the safety of the Baltic Sea holidaymakers in the summer. As a mark of the high quality of the Baltic Sea water at the shores of Graal-Müritz, the „Blue Flag of Europe“ has waved in the breeze for many years. This acknowledgement is only granted by the German Society for Environmental Education if the quality of the water meets the very stringent EU guidelines.

If you don’t like the weather on the coast or if the Baltic Sea isn’t the temperature you’re used to bathing in, take a visit to the Aquadrom. This sports and wellness oasis offers warm Baltic Sea water (28 degrees) all year round and a varied choice of wellness and sports activities.

Cycling:
An international bicycle trail leads from Warnemünde to Darßer Ort - from one lighthouse to the next one, so to speak - and directly through our little town. Along many parts of the trail you can ride directly behind the dunes bordering the Baltic Sea coast. The heathlands of the "Rostocker Heide" invite you to relaxing bicycle tours round about Graal-Müritz.

For hikers and explorers the immediate surroundings of Graal-Müritz are ideal terrain. Numerous hiking paths lead through the unique biotopes such as the Müritz-Ribnitz Rain Moors or the Rostock Heathlands.

Water Sports:
Diving, windsurfing or simply swimming in the Baltic Sea - if you love the water during the season, you certainly won’t be disappointed.

The Hunting Lodge in Gelbensande is, as the former residence of the territorial prince of Mecklenburg, always worth a visit, not least on account of the various interesting exhibits. Royal porcelain, the architect Möckel and living history ensure an unforgettable experience.
