The lighthouses of Warnemünde, Rostock, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

These lighthouses mark the harbour entrance of Warnemünde, a charming port town located about 150 miles north of Berlin in the Rostock district of Germany. Originally a fishing community founded in the late 12th century, Warnemünde has evolved into a popular seaside resort and boasts a beautiful stretch of white sand dotted with old-fashioned beach chairs. The town's name derives from the mouth of the river Warnow, which empties into the Baltic Sea, seen here.
