Thanks so much for the information.

[Carmic]

Heinbloed..........you are a wealth of information. Thanks for all of it.:)

 

We want to board a train in Warnemunde and go to Rostock to catch a train to Bad Doberan to ride the "Molli" and then get the train back to Rostock. After exploring Rostock we will take the train back to Warnemunde. I think what we just need to do is read the departures and arrivals and get our tickets. Will you just take a minute and see if this is correct? Thanks

 

I am not sure if I am correct in saying we have to go to Rostock to catch a train to Bad Doberan...........is there a train that goes directly from Warnemunde to Bad Doberan?

 

There are two of us and I think buying the Landerticket or a Day Pass is the best way........which one? Does the Lander ticket or Day Pass cover all of our train rides? I know it doesn't cover the "Molli".

 

Thanks,

Carol

No - but a bus with a scenic route!

 

There are two of us and I think buying the Landerticket or a Day Pass is the best way........which one? Does the Lander ticket or Day Pass cover all of our train rides? I know it doesn't cover the "Molli".

 

1. The Molli-Train is always a separate ticket.

 

2. Let's express it this way. If you want to move in the SEPTA-network in Greater Philadelphia you do not need to buy a statewide ticket which also covers Pittsburgh...

 

If you buy a Länderticket Mecklenburg-Vorpommern you can also go to "Pittsburgh".

 

If you buy a Day Pass then it's limited to Greater Philadelphia. And your destination in Bad Doberan is "in Greater Philadelphia".

 

So save the money for the Länderticket and just buy a Day Pass.

HeinBloed

Thanks Heinbloed..........one thing I am confused about.........can we catch a bus directly to Bad Doberan from Warnemude or do we need to take the train to Rostock and then catch the bus to Bad Doberan.

 

We will buy the day pass as you suggest. Thanks.

Thanks Heinbloed..........one thing I am confused about.........can we catch a bus directly to Bad Doberan from Warnemude or do we need to take the train to Rostock and then catch the bus to Bad Doberan.

 

I am working for BAYER... to make sure that you buy Aspirine...

 

1. Walking 15 Minutes or taking one stop by train towards Rostock to Warnemünde Werft to catch the bus to Bad Doberan...

 

2. Taking the train to Rostock and catch the bus to Bad Doberan

(does not make too much sense: a) no scenic route / b) no frequent service)...

 

3. Taking the train to Rostock and catch the train towards Wismar to Bad Doberan...

 

So all options still available...

 

Would recommend to use bus from Warnemünde Werft to Bad Doberan and take the train via Rostock back. So you see more!

HeinBloed

The 2008 schedule for the Molli is available but it's "buried" in the German language section of the site. Here's a quick link:

[Carmic]

Thanks, we will take the train one stop and catch the bus to Bad Doberan. Have to go back and look at your pictures. They sure help.

 

Thanks, MightyQuinn...........can't read German, but can tell how much it costs and when it leaves and comes back. Will print it out.

[ROCruiser]

I knew I have seen those pictures. Have been looking for them for weeks. Wonderful pictures and guides for Warnemunde! Thanks!

[Lucia Yen]

I got instructions from a fellow cruiser in California who is caring about you might miss the way.

 

She asked me to repeat the posting of following link.

Hope she is satisfying with me...

Dear Heinbloed,

 

You are so helpful to us. We will be arriving Warnemunde on May 20 with the Constellation.

 

I am travelling with my mom and she has walking immobility. We thus only plan to visit Rostock & Schewin (? where there is a castle). I am not sure whether we have sufficient time as the ship will leave at 9:00 in the evening. Please advise which is the best way to go to these two places. What kind of transportation, train or bus or which ticket type? I don't want the routing to be too complicated and to do a lot of transit.

 

Thanks very much for your great help.

 

By the way, do you have any link for ports of Copenhagen, Stockhom & Helsinki which shows us directions to places of interest ?

 

Thanks again.

Lucia

Good Morning from Germany,

 

your Mom need to walk somehow as there will be steps to use before you get access to public transport.

 

Generally: what about driving yourself (car-rental)??? If you order by Hertz your Mom need only to get down from the ship. Normally Hertz is delivering the car just in front of the cruise-terminal.

 

Another option for your Mom: a driver guided limo tour (which you might share with other cruisers to reduce the price per passenger):

 

http://www.m-vp.de/2465/english/preise2.htm

 

It would also help you to get back.

 

If the mobility reduction allows also slow walks upto 30 minutes incl. using steps I would make following suggestion:

 

dep 09.37 hrs S1 train from Warnemünde (platform 4)

arr 09.58 hrs arr Rostock Hbf (= Central Station - fully accessible - platform 1)

dep 10.25 hrs IC 2373 from Rostock Hbf (platform 3)

arr 11.22 arr Schwerin Hbf (fully accessible)

 

If you need assistance we can order from German Railways!!! This service is free of charge!

 

Here is decribed how you around to the castle:

 

http://home.arcor.de/yao/Schwerin.pdf

 

There is a new offer in Schwerin:

 

Sightseeing Bus + Lake cruise (16 EUR pp)

 

dep 11.50 hrs from InterCity Hotel at Schwerin Central Station (look to the right once you are leaving the station building)

 

going to the pier at the castle:

 

dep 12.30 hrs Lake Cruise (Inseltour = Island Tour)

arr 13.45 hrs

 

Now you can walk into the castle to visit

 

Due to unpleasent schedule back to the station (you will always miss a train and have to wait a long time at the station) I would recommend to use a taxi back to Schwerin Central Station. It should cost just few Euros.

 

dep 16.15 hrs IC 2116 from Schwerin Hbf (platform 2)

arr 17.13 hrs at Rostock Hbf

 

http://home.arcor.de/yao/Rostock.pdf

 

Get down to the tram station

 

Look for tram

 

5 towards Lichtenhagen

6 towards Neuer Friedhof

 

Take any of the his two for three stops to Neuer Markt (New Market) and look around the historic buildings and doing some shoppings.

 

dep 19.02 Tram 5 from Lange Straße (towards Südblick)*

dep 19.04 Tram 5 from Neuer Markt (towards Südblick)*

arr 19.10 at Rostock Hbf

 

* subject where you are actually...

 

dep 19.31 S1 train from Rostock Hbf (platform 2)

arr 19.51 at Warnemünde

 

Time for dinner and saying good-bye to Germany.

 

I have put some extra time for the transit - so do not wonder about longer waitings but as I do not know the mobility reduction of you Mom I did not want to use extreme tough transfers within minutes.

 

The ticket to Schwerin will be 41.00 EUR (flexible use).

There is a cheaper option to get to Schwerin by Regional Trains by using Day Passes but you'll need longer transit time and additional transfers.

 

Due to mobility reduction of your Mom I think it's more convenient to pay more and have less transfers.

 

This schedule will allow you to see both Schwerin and Rostock and you'll have breakfast and dinner onboard.

 

 

I hope that this is what you are looking for.

 

 

By the way, do you have any link for ports of Copenhagen, Stockhom & Helsinki which shows us directions to places of interest ?

Hi, HeinBloed,

 

Very grateful for all your help and info. of getting to Rostcok & Schwerin.

 

I am thinking that may be I am a bit greedy to take two places at one time especially with my mom.

 

I have some options to seek your kind advice :

 

(ONLY Rostock) I learnt from the this forum that it seems it is much easier to just go to Rostock alone, with a single ticket $1.7 (EURO) or a Day pass ($4.3). I am interested to take the ferry back to the berth and not sure whether we can use the day pass as well or have to buy separate tickets.

 

(ONLY Schwerin) - I remembered you suggested to us the Mecklenburg-Vorponnern Ticket which cost $24 (Euro), is this applicable for us to travel from Warnemunde to Schwerin round trip.

 

Last options : since we haven't been to any other places around Warnemunde, I don't bother going to other places like Wismar or Lubeck if all the connections are smoother and easier. Very appreciated if you could give us some advice.

 

My many thanks again for your kind assistance.

 

Have a good day !

 

Lucia

[Herve]

Following up on one of Zeitgeist's suggestions, rent a car (the St Petersburg Strasse office in Rostock will deliver the car to the little agency office right at the dock for real easypickup and return).

 

Drive west to Lubeck, sticking to two lane roads as much as possible.

 

Stop off in Heiligendamm and Wismar.

 

Get to Lubeck for late lunch and enjoy the lively main square and/or the riverfront.

 

Go to Niederegger's if you like marzipan or just want to see what kind of amazing statues they make out of marzipan.

 

Then come back on the autobahn. If you have time, detour off to Schwerin to see the huge golden castle.

 

Very leisurely day ambling through the German countryside and a nice change of pace from the daily barrage of big cities, cathedrals and palaces.

 

Is the Rent a Car location is a Hertz ?!? If it is, like I think, would it be better to make reservations through the internet before arrival and how do we let them know that I want the car to be delivered to Warnemunde Port ?!?

 

Thank you!

bu ke qi...

 

Let's see how we can solve the problem...

 

For 25,00 EUR (inflation, i.e. + 1,00 EUR...) you'll buy the Länderticket Mecklenburg-Vorpommern... (and you can still find another three nice cruise-mates joining you and helping carrying your Mom around...)

 

And we just change the round to make it possible to see all: Rostock and Schwerin:

 

dep 09.07 hrs S1 train from Warnemünde (platform 2)

arr 09.28 hrs at Rostock Hbf (Central Station)

 

one ticket on the tram 5/6 to get to the city center is 1.70 EUR

so totally 6.80 EUR... (2 x 2 tickets for your Mom and you)

if you are a party of four or five it makes sense to buy day-pass for 12.80 EUR

 

dep 13.04 hrs RE 33010 from Rostock Hbf

arr 14.01 hrs at Schwerin Hbf

 

you can take tram 1 or bus 19, 51, 71 (what is going to the right direction if you are leaving the train station building...) for two stops to SCHLOSSBLICK (Castle view...)

 

From there it's a short walk to the castle/lake/pier for lake cruise...

 

one ticket on the tram 1/bus 19, 51,71 to the Castle view is 1.50 EUR

so totally 6.00 EUR... (2 x 2 tickets for your Mom and you)

no day passes for groups available

 

Lake cruise starts

 

15.00 hrs to 16.15 hrs (9.50 EUR pp)

so time enough to walk around and see the castle...

 

dep 17.51 hrs RE 33015 from Schwerin Hbf

arr 18.52 hrs at Rostock Hbf

dep 19.16 hrs S1 train from Rostock Hbf

arr 19.36 hrs at Warnemünde

 

So you can still see both for this little amount.

I don't know how to express my heartful thanks to all your help to us. It's so nice of you to be always here to sort out our problems, especially me, a first time cruiser.

Sorry that I am not quite sure about all the ticket types and need some clarifications from you.

For the Landerticket Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ticket, does it cover the train travelling from Warnemunde-Rostock & Rostock-Schwerin then finally from Schwerin back to Warnemunde ?

If we can't find someone to share this ticket type, is there any alternative that we can buy a day pass or return ticket ?

As per my understanding, there are two portions that I need to buy separate tickets or a day-pass, i.e. from Rostock to the City Centre

& the other is from the Schwerin Station to the Castle View, right ?

Can the day pass you mentioned (cost $12.80 EUR) be used both in Rostock & Schwerin stations to the city centre or the Castle ? Are the tickets be purchased in advance in the machine or on the tram/bus ?

I am thinking that we may not join the lake cruise since we feel more comfortable to return to the ship earlier, what's the time of an earlier departure from Schwerin ?

By the way, I also noted you showed us before the direction from Amsterdam Cruise Terminal to the city centre, are all the main attractions in the city centre including the canal cruise ? It's a pity that we only got a few hours there.

With my many thanks again.

Best regards,

Lucia

mei yo wen ti...

 

For the Landerticket Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ticket, does it cover the train travelling from Warnemunde-Rostock & Rostock-Schwerin then finally from Schwerin back to Warnemunde ?

 

Absolutely!!! 25 EUR and all is included...

 

If we can't find someone to share this ticket type, is there any alternative that we can buy a day pass or return ticket ?

 

A single ticket Warnemünde - Rostock - Schwerin is 16.10 EUR.

Return = 2 x single = 32.20 EUR...

25.00 EUR is the day pass for five persons...

subject you can have first your breakfast onboard and start after 09.00 hrs...

how would you decide???

 

As per my understanding, there are two portions that I need to buy separate tickets or a day-pass, i.e. from Rostock to the City Centre

& the other is from the Schwerin Station to the Castle View, right ?

 

Absolutely!

 

Can the day pass you mentioned (cost $12.80 EUR) be used both in Rostock & Schwerin stations to the city centre or the Castle ?

 

Unfortunately: no - you need seperate tickets for Rostock and Schwerin.

 

That's like using the MTR and once you change to KCR you need a new ticket...

 

Are the tickets be purchased in advance in the machine or on the tram/bus ?

 

You'll find on major stations ticket machines: please buy if available. Observe the other people if the punch/cancel/validate the tickets in a box in the tram. It's not like on MTR: you do it only once you board. Not when you leave!!!

 

If there is no ticket machine: buy in the tram: maybe there is a ticket machine inside or with the driver.

 

I am thinking that we may not join the lake cruise since we feel more comfortable to return to the ship earlier, what's the time of an earlier departure from Schwerin ?

 

every 2 hours, i. e. exactly 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours before you can the same connection. All others request upgraded tickets or an additional transfer.

 

By the way, I also noted you showed us before the direction from Amsterdam Cruise Terminal to the city centre, are all the main attractions in the city centre including the canal cruise ? It's a pity that we only got a few hours there.

 

Subject you do not like to swim... it's a very pleasant, nice and convenient way to discover Amsterdam. Especially as the "Gracht" (Dutch Canal) is very typical for Amsterdam. You will experience a very nice view as the boats have glass roofs.

 

Regards from Munich.

Hi, HeinBloed,

 

Thanks again for your patience and help to solve my problems. One more question, regarding the group ticket $25 (Euro), will all five travellers need to be on the same routing and return at the same time, same train ? If so, that would be a problem.

 

You are from Munich, right ? I've been there in 2005 X'mas, a nice place but too cold at that time. How come you know Mandarin ? Have you been to Hong Kong ? Don't tell me that you are a chinese, ha, ha.

 

Have a good day !

You need to travel together... but even alone, i.e. each of you buy one it's the cheapest way to get around.

 

You are from Munich, right ?

No - just travelling... from Heidelberg area...

 

I've been there in 2005 X'mas, a nice place but too cold at that time.

Currently it's something about 20°C and very sunny...

 

How come you know Mandarin ?

No comment...

 

Have you been to Hong Kong ?

looks like... or???

 

 

Don't tell me that you are a chinese, ha, ha.

Hi, HeinBloed

 

Wish you are still here to help us.

 

See, I am greedy again because I have seen those beautiful pictures of Lubeck from your link and can't help to ask you for direction.

 

But you know, I want a more easy/smooth connection due to my mom's problem. I know I can only afford to go two places in one day. That's to pick two from Rostock, Schewrin & Lubeck. What would you suggest ?

 

With my heartful thanks again.

Good Morning from Kiel-Canal onboard of MS DELPHIN...

 

Under the circumstances that you are from Hong Kong I think that the combination

 

Lübeck - Schwerin

 

will best fit to your taste.

 

You will make new lifetime experiences.

 

You can substitute Rostock and Lübeck but Lübeck is nicer although both are classical Hanseatic Towns.

 

When are you leaving HKG???

 

I am on board and cannot provide you from here the same quality like normal. I am back "home" on Tuesday.

Hi, HeinBloed,

 

I am so glad to see you here again.

 

I will be leaving Hong Kong for London on Tuesday evening. I am not sure whether I can find a place for web surfing easily. Anyway, please email me the connections from the Pier to Lubeck and Schwerin.

 

Though I am from HK, I like historic places like those Old Towns and castles. That's why I know I will like Heidleberg (spelling ?) though I never visited it before.

 

My email address is luciayen2004@yahoo.com.h.k.

 

Thanks for your kind help again.

 

With my best regards,

Lucia

I remember that you are in Warnemünde on May 20, 2008.

 

Buy a Länderticket Mecklenburg-Vorpommern for 25.00 EUR

Do not forget to punch/cancel/validate ticket in yellow/orange boxes!!!

 

German Railways is upgrading the ticket machines - therefore these instructions are from last year (with last year's price):

 

But you'll manage it.

I am working for BAYER... to make sure that you buy Aspirine...

 

1. Walking 15 Minutes or taking one stop by train towards Rostock to Warnemünde Werft to catch the bus to Bad Doberan...

 

2. Taking the train to Rostock and catch the bus to Bad Doberan

(does not make too much sense: a) no scenic route / b) no frequent service)...

 

3. Taking the train to Rostock and catch the train towards Wismar to Bad Doberan...

 

So all options still available...

 

Would recommend to use bus from Warnemünde Werft to Bad Doberan and take the train via Rostock back. So you see more!

 

Regards,

HeinBloed

 

Hein - I need some of those headache tablets too. Please, once again can you clarify exactly how to do this trip....

Catch train one stop from Warnemunde to Warnemunde Werft - what sort of ticket do you buy and how much?

Catch the bus to Bad Doberan - again how much and what number bus is it and where do you catch it from?

Ride the Molli train from Bad Doberan to where??? - how much is a ticket?

 

Catch a train from where ??? to Rostock and then the train back to Warnemunde.

 

Is it possible to do this trip to include Lubeck too - your pictures inspired me to visit there.

 

Sorry if you have answered this before but I am just getting confused by all the info on these sites and would like to have it in one place! Thanks

Which ship?

When?

How many persons (if with children: age???)?

Subject you do not go to Lübeck: Intention to stop in Rostock and walk around?

Subject you do not go to Lübeck: Intention to make one way by ship to/from Rostock???
