From Wismar train station, along a right-hand side of the gravel road to go, you can go to the old port. Most of the buildings along the road retains the original look. Sun through the gap between the buildings, scattered on the gravel road. Air released into the atmosphere with the taste of the sea, accompanied by the sound of a vehicle bumps, its run over gravel. Ancient flavor of life in Europe, a little hit.

Once the bustling center of the old port of the Hanseatic, Wismar. Here anchored the rich merchant ships, laden with valuable cargo, and the scent of the big, distant world. Today, there are pleasure boats, fishing boats and pleasure yachts. There are smoked fish and delicious fish sandwiches.

In the sunset, I embarked on the train, left Wismar, with a trace of sadness. Wismar, it seems still not been developed tourist city. It came with simple taste, no decorations, no noise, just quietly serene in the Baltic Sea.

Tips:

1, Wismar is a remote small town, not much traffic with train departures. If you go there to travel, please note that train schedules.

2. If night stay in Wismar, do not go out at night. Wismar night too quiet.
