From Bades Huk, the Hanseatic city, the island, the Baltic Sea resort, the castle, and nature experiences are all within easy reach. Anyone who wants to Fall Vacation on the Baltic Sea Anyone staying with us should therefore set aside a day or two of their vacation for sightseeing.

1. Wismar: UNESCO Charm Between the Old Town and the Harbor

For us, a trip to Wismar is an absolute must during a vacation in Bades Huk. Brick Gothic architecture, historic townhouses, narrow streets, and the maritime atmosphere make this Hanseatic city especially beautiful, particularly during the quieter month of September. From the historic market square, you can extend your stroll through the city all the way to the “Old Harbor.” There, Wismar reveals its maritime side: historic buildings, ships, fishing, and the Baltic Sea atmosphere all come together in one place. And, of course, a visit is topped off with a delicious fish sandwich straight from the fishing boat. In September 2026, daily public guided tours titled “Discover Wismar’s World Heritage” will also be offered. Night watchman tours and themed tours are also listed in the current calendar of events. Unser Tipp: Spend the afternoon strolling through the Old Town and wind down the day at the Old Harbor. Link: Wismar Tourism Website on the Old Town

The local tourism organization highlights the quieter beaches, mild fall days, and hiking, biking, and excursions in the region—especially in September and October—as the advantages of the off-season. We couldn’t agree more—it’s a wonderful time to take a deep breath and relax.

Not every fall day has to be sunny—and it doesn’t have to be. For families, the phanTECHNIKUM—the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Museum of Technology in Wismar—is a great indoor alternative. The technology museum combines exhibits with hands-on experiments, making it particularly well-suited for a day of vacation when wind and rain put a damper on beach plans. Special programs and guided tours will also be held there in September 2026.
