About this tour
This session walks Travemünde's beach and promenade, Lübeck's seaside district on the Baltic coast. You see the shoreline and the working lighthouse that has guided ships here since 1539. Torben explains how the resort's mood shifts through the year.
The walk covers two points along the coast at a relaxed pace. Torben answers questions about the lighthouse and the resort's history.
This suits anyone wanting a coastal change of pace from the old town. It pairs well with his Trave river session inland.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Lübeck before heading out.
-
Beach promenade 21 min
The camera follows the beach promenade at Travemünde, and I point out how the resort feels different depending on the season I happen to be filming.
-
Lighthouse 21 min
We reach the working lighthouse dating to 1539, and I explain its long role guiding ships into the Trave's mouth on the Baltic.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Lübeck: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Kartoffelpuffer (potato pancakes) and Altstadtinsel, worth a slower look.

- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
