Kaiserbäder
Kuehlungsborn
The chain of splendor baths begins in West Mecklenburg with the Prose Kühlungsborn. The beautiful Art Nouveau villas have idiosyncratic faces. Here a tower, there a bay, balconies in all conceivable forms. On the facades, decorative elements vie for the favor of the viewer. Kühlungsborn guests visit the Doberaner Münster, visit the nearby Hanseatic city of Rostock, stroll to Heiligendamm to the white luxury resort, or swarm out to the rural peaceful Poel.

Bastorf: Picnic in the castle garden If your friends later ask you what you have been doing over the extended weekend at Schloss Basthorst in Mecklenburg, then you can say that you have taken long walks. Or you drove the twenty minutes to Schwerin. But probably it was like this: In the afternoon you drank coffee on the castle terrace, ate freshly baked cakes and let your gaze wander through the park to the reedy-covered lake. Maybe you even took the seven-minute walk to its shore, accompanied by the house cat. Or you and the cat just stayed on the patio, snuggled together in a chair, and you read a good book until the candlelight dinner was served in the dining room. Then a glass of wine in the library, which looks like a Miss Marple movie, and then at least twelve hours of sleep. So that you are fit for the picnic in the park on Sunday. Yes, that's how it has been. But your secret is safe with us. (Castle Bastorf 19089 Crivitz / Basthorst, Tel. 038 63/52 50, www. Lock-basthorst.de).

Here you will find loneliness.
