Short break at the turn of the year:
New Year's Eve in Warnemuende
When the last day of the year has dawned, the Baltic Sea resort of Warnemünde turns into one big beach party. Small booths are set up along the lake promenade and everything seems somehow magical when the Baltic Sea reflects the colorful light of the rockets at midnight; in the background campfire romance and sparkling wine from paper cups. We have summarized for you here how New Year's Eve is celebrated in Warnemünde on the Baltic Sea and what offers there are for your short break at the turn of the year.
North German New Year's traditions with donuts and fireworks
New Year's Eve is one of the biggest events of the year in Warnemünde. Even without banging, the smell of mulled wine and tower lights, a walk on the beach is just the right thing to burn off the Christmas pounds and to regain strength for the next year in the fresh sea air.
The turn of the year is traditionally celebrated with filled donuts (otherwise also called pancakes or donuts). However, there is a special feature, because instead of jam there is hot mustard in a pastry. Another tradition is the fireworks that are lit in Warnemünde at the turn of the year.
Where is the best place to see the fireworks in Warnemünde?
Traditionally, a firework display is set off on the beach in Warnemünde every year. The 5 km long Baltic Sea beach and the unobstructed view of the open sea are ideal for hosting such a spectacle. Locals and visitors meet here at night, toast with sparkling wine and mulled wine and make their own small contribution to the fire spectacle in the night sky with sparklers.
