YFEW Posted May 28, 2010 #26 Share Posted May 28, 2010 We are looking for good restaurants where the locals eat (not touristy places) in Warnemunde, Rostock and Schwerin. Any recommendations?? Thanks. quote=Nasenbaer;24564963]For restaurants I would also say Ratskeller, I don't know Zur Kogge....and Alex's is a no no, been there many many times with a group of ladies and the service is slow and the food is mediocre. :) Personally Warnemünde is full of many many great restaurants, with fish being the main speciality. As summer comes the Fish Markets stay open longer where you can get fish sandwiches. Though the people don't speak English you can just point, it normally works. The fish market is after the train stations but before the bridge over the canal. Take a right at Lila Bakerei when walking towards Warnemünde.

Rare HeinBloed Posted May 28, 2010 #27 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Schwerin. Any recommendations?? In Schwerin I was in Kartoffelhus (Potato house): It was cheap and you find a lot of dishes which were not replaced by "Western-Internationalized-Americanized" dishes like Burgers, Pasta, Pizza, Döner Kebab, Chop Choy etc... Many restaurants thought that they to make a transition from East to West... But they had many dishes with typical East German flavours like: Würzfleisch (seasoned meat): Normally made of veal - but during the time of Communism and limited access to raw material it was somehow creative and tasty adjusted to the limits they had. Also very typical for this part of Germany: Sauerfleisch mit Bratkartoffeln (Cold cour marinated pork in meat broth jelly with hot country fried potatoes) Very local - very authentic - very cheap... Check here to find the way: http://heinbloed-cruiseguides.blogspot.com/2009/02/schwerin-germany-walking-and-public.html http://www.kartoffelhaus-schwerin.de/home2.php Regards HeinBloed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fish market is after the train stations but before the bridge over the canal. Take a right at Lila Bakerei when walking towards Warnemünde. In Warnemünde around "Alter Strom" it's more touristic: Freshly smoked fish - before the cruise ship arrives... The closer you are around the lighthouse and beach - the more touristic - the more expensive - the more internationalized: Like here: if you are in Warnemünde to eat Greek (Greek Greek - not American Greek)... In case you prefer Filet-o-fish: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HeinBloed Posted May 28, 2010 #29 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Rostock Any recommendations?? Subject you are not limited to Northern German regional kitchen and you do not mind to be in a very touristic spot I can recommend: http://www.haxenstadl.de/start.php For this I do not have any pictures. It's on the backside of the train station like an "oasis" in a desert of a typical Communist time-constructed concrete flat-wall-settlement... You just exit the train station to Stadthalle/Südstadt: I would say the major difference between Northern and Southern German food: In the North you more boil and steam In the South you more fry and grill So you get now an impression of predijuce of German food: a great pork shank with Sauerkraut and potato dumplings... That a Haxe (not from this restaurant). Haxenstadl means the Pork Shank Inn. The food war very good and cheap as it is addressed for locals.

marylizcat Posted July 17, 2010 #30 Share Posted July 17, 2010 If we buy the train group day ticket for Rostock, I understand we have to validate it before we board the train at the beginning of our day. However, do we ever have to validate it again, for the trams or the return train journey? Or is just the first time enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, do we ever have to validate it again, for the trams or the return train journey? Or is just the first time enough? Only the first time. In this moment when there is a second stamp the ticket will become invalid.

Travelanni Posted July 19, 2010 #35 Share Posted July 19, 2010 There seems to have been be a bit of confusion lately about which tickets are required for transport between Warnemuende and Rostock. Hope this clears things up. Re Public Transport. There are two possibilities. 1. A single ticket (Einzelfahrkarte), cost 1.70euros, covers the full journey from Warnemuende to Rostock City Centre, ie. train ride from Warnemuende to the Central station and the tram ride to any of the 3 stops in the city centre. There is no such thing as a return ticket. 2. A day ticket (Tageskarte), cost 4.50euros, covers as many journeys as you like, all day on any public transport within Warnemuende/Rostock. Please note that the 'ferry' between Warnemuende and Rostock is a private tour boat not part of the public transport system. So if you only want to go to the City and return obviously single tickets are the best value. This also gives the option of taking the boat, 8euro, one way. There are other routes which you can take to get back to the ship using a single ticket on the train and tram, the English lady in the Kropeliner Tor has some good ideas which give you a different view of the City and inner suburbs. Tickets can be bought from the machines on the station in Warnemuende and at the City tram stops. If you go into the ticket office make sure you do not ask for a return as they will then sell you a day ticket, an uneccessary 2.20 for a couple! When you get off the train in Rostock go down one level to the concourse. There you will see stairs down to the trams. Take the stairs to platform A marked City, the sign is just above the stairway. Take a number 5 or a number 6 tram to any of the three city stops - Neuer Markt, Lange Str or Kroepeliner Tor. Very Important Do not forget to validate your ticket in the little orange box at the beginning of the train platform in Warnemuende, you only have to do this once. Miss a train if you have to, there will be another in 10mins and it is better than a 40euro fine!! (bitter experience talking here). Have fun in Rostock. We love it, hope you will too.

Travelanni Posted July 5, 2011 #38 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Does anyone know how long it takes to Rostock from Warnemünde by taxi? Hi, it takes between 20 mins and half an hour depending on the traffic, the cost is around 20 euros. There are usually taxis waiting at the entrance to the cruise terminal building but if they are all taken there is another taxi rank located on the station. Walk through the underpass from the quay, straight ahead and you will see them. Happy cruising, :) Anni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcsam Posted July 5, 2011 #39 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Thank you for your reply. We want to buy our own train tickets to Berlin and yet it doesn't seem possible to take it from Warnemünde all the way to Berlin, only Rostock. But there must be a way to change trains in Rostock. Anyway, it is cheaper than buying the excursion from Norwegian if we go 2nd class and do it ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it is cheaper than buying the excursion from Norwegian if we go 2nd class and do it ourselves. Train tickets to Berlin (regular showing way (origin and destination)) always include the ride from Warnemünde to Rostock. BUT not if you are using passes (due to start of validity 09.00 hrs on weekdays or unlimited on weekends). DIRECT trains is only available during peak-season early in the morning or noon. But not possible for NCL-arrival. Mostly only HAL-guests can go on direct trains. For return you can use the direct train back to Warnemünde.

All long distance and Lander tickets will show the start point as Rostock rather than Warnemünde as they are valid from either the Rostock Central Station or any suburban Rostock station. Warnemünde is a suburb of Rostock, served by local trains (s-bahn) and, with the exception of a couple of trains a day, a change to a main line train is made at Central.

Enjoyed Rostock and with your directions had no trouble finding our way back to the ship. Your town is worth the visit as is Warnemunde. This is a very different port for those of us who decided to forgo Berlin. Sorry we missed Schwerin as some of a pax enjoyed themselves visiting the castle. Keep up the good work of advising travelers to your area. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoben1kenobi Posted July 8, 2011 #43 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi, We were looking around for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with the Jagdschloss Gelbensande. Is it worth a visit, since I don't see any people here talking about it? Also I tried to search for traintickets and it displayed 20 euros per person for a return ticket from Rostock. Is that true?

Travelanni Posted July 8, 2011 #44 Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Hi, We were looking around for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with the Jagdschloss Gelbensande. Is it worth a visit, since I don't see any people here talking about it? Also I tried to search for traintickets and it displayed 20 euros per person for a return ticket from Rostock. Is that true? Hi, I have not been there myself so cannot comment on the worth of a visit but here is what I know. Gelbensande is about 15mins from Rostock Central station and within the Rostock Regional transport area (Gesamt-netz VVW) so a day ticket (Tageskarte) for 11.70 euros per person allows you to travel on all forms of transport within the area all day. Train service is two hourly from 9.01am. The Jagdschloss web site is all in German but the pictures give a good idea of what can be seen. Opening hours; daily from 11am to 5pm. I believe it is about a 15 min walk from the station. www.jagdschloss-gelbensande.de Happy cruising, :) Anni Edited July 8, 2011 by rostocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
