Things to Do  

The Map

The Map, Timmendorfer Strand

 MikeAtSea Says:  This photograph I took of one of the many maps that give orientation. Here one can see that the town is stretched out along the coastline. A walk from the one side of Timmendorfer Strand to Niendorf will take about 30 minutes, leisurely. 

The Town Centres

The Town Centres, Timmendorfer Strand

 MikeAtSea Says:  Both Niendorf and Timmendorfer Strand have a small city centre. Most of the shopping concentrates around the centre of Timmendorfer Strand. Here one can also find attractive street cafes and restaurants.

Moevennest: Ice cream and coffee at snack booth, Timmendorfer Strand

 MD2nd Says:  Along the beach, on the lovely and green promenade of Timmendorfer Strand, which goes all the way to Niendorf and Luebeck, are many, many snack booths. There ppl can take a break from their swim, bicycle, walk or whatsoever, and have little meals, snacks, soft drinks, ice...

 MD2nd Says:  Doesn't that look tasty? And I don't necessarily mean the painter only but Moevenpick ice cream as well, which is quite famous in Germany for its great, rich, and very creamy taste. Not sure whether Moevenpick is a German, Austrian or a company from The Swiss? Anyway, they...

Mien Baecker at famila: Great cakes, bread rolls, and snacks, Timmendorfer Strand

 MD2nd Says:  Mien Baecker is a bakery which is located right inside that local & huge famila shop. Customers can sit & eat there (self-service). One would choose from their pretty big & fresh selection of baked goodies, tea, coffee, soft drinks. One put the choosen things on a tablet,...

Restaurant Feuerstein: Inexpensive Pizza place

Restaurant Feuerstein: Inexpensive Pizza place, Timmendorfer Strand

 MD2nd Says:  Restaurant Feuerstein is lovely located at the Kurpark. So far I understand it's the most inexpensive place around. It's also a sportsbar, and restaurant for ordering pizza by phone. Service/waiters are friendly. Fast they get the meals done. We've been there for a small... 

Transportation  

Driving on back roads

Driving on back roads, Timmendorfer Strand

 Maria250 Says:  The other year we didn't take the highway but mostly drove on back roads which was less a drive but cosy crawls behind hay trucks and such. That, with Trace Adkins tracks playing, we thought our detour was quite ok. Hemmelsdorf lies to the north of Luebeck between Ratekau...

Great shop that provids most of the categories mentioned: any thing foodstuff and drink, books, discount stuff, children & ladies & men's clothes, sporting goods, art & crafts & stationery, some computer and electronic items, gifts & souvenirs, music, bath and beauty related things, shoes, toys, games, and I think flowers too. Have never come to know a famila shop before, and I was really surprised by their staff's helpfulness, friendliness, and their truly kind way of treating their customers. If we had such a shop around I def. would stick with'em. Maybe famila's staff is trained in the states since such friendliness is still not happen too often with German shops. And: they are open on Sundays. Many parking spots in front of the shop. And the main bus station too.

Sea Life, Timmendorfer Strand

 MD2nd Says:  Up until today I personally haven't visit Sea Life though I do spend time in Timmendorfer Strand once in a while. Seems Sea Life to me is not really a must do thing. However, it's a nice opportunity on a rainy day, I guess. Discover the fascination of the underwater world at...

Take a ship - if you make it without sea sick, Timmendorfer Strand

 Maria250 Says:  How about a boat trip on the Baltic Sea from Timmendorfer Strand to Groemitz or the Fehrman island? We haven't done that as I really am not sea safe (those few times I needed to take a ferry my stomac did nothing but turn and turn and turn more) yet the offers for any boat...

Minigolf course, bikes and books at Kurpark, Timmendorfer Strand

 MD2nd Says:  Not too sure whether minigolf could be considered a sport? However it's a funny looking game. This minigolf place right at Timmendorfer Strand's Kurpark is a very cute looking one. We haven't played there but had their fantastic tasting coffee which comes in a plastic cup...

Chessboard huge & painted, Timmendorfer Strand

 MD2nd Says:  If I was to say whether minigolf or rather chess is considered a sport, I most likely answer "rather chess". But then again I have no clue, I yet think this huge painted chess board right at the Kurpark with cosy benches, looks very inviting. Sort of Italian style, like ppl...
