You have to park somewhere, and the price here is still reasonable. I mean, it was one euro an hour.

A good hiking trail. Partly paved, partly covered with sand. Wonderful view of the coast from Kühlungsborn to Nienhagen

Here the view is admirably beautiful, the holy dam enchants us completely," wrote the English travel writer Thomas Nugent in 1766, long before the seaside resort was founded. Heiligendamm still enchants today. Dark beech forests, white beaches and the sound of waves invite you to dream and relax. The oldest seaside resort in Germany - once the grand ducal summer residence and a popular destination for high society - is now shining in new splendor. The renovated ensemble stands out magnificently from the coastal forest, while some of the pearl necklace's jewels are still waiting to be redeemed. You can enjoy an unforgettable view of the "White City by the Sea" from the pier. Heiligendamm - let yourself be enchanted! 🚶🍷🛳️
