Holiday trend: The Baltic Sea is booming in autumn – Scharbeutz in focus!
More and more travelers are drawn to the untamed beauty of the Baltic Sea, and not just during the high season. According to Nordkurier, an increasing number of holidaymakers are planning to arrive outside of the classic holiday periods. November in particular shows impressive growth in search queries for seaside resorts in Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The most popular destination is Scharbeutz on the Bay of Lübeck, where search queries have increased by a whopping 310 percent compared to the previous year. You can also be satisfied with the other highlights of the region: Kappeln recorded an increase of 90 percent, Kühlungsborn followed suit with 85 percent, followed by Heiligenhafen with 45 percent and the Baltic Sea resort of Baabe on Rügen, which recorded an increase of 30 percent.
Why the off-season is trending
The tendency to travel to quieter times is clearly noticeable. Many holidaymakers consciously choose the off-season to escape the crowds and benefit from cheaper prices. Landlords are responding to this by significantly reducing average rental prices in November - accommodation in Scharbeutz costs 35 percent less in November than in August.
This trend not only has a positive impact on travelers, but also on the region's tourism infrastructure. A more even utilization of capacity throughout the year protects the environment and significantly reduces the burden on the summer months. The increase in holidaymakers in the off-season strengthens the tourism economy in the coastal regions in the long term and ensures sustainable development.
The Baltic Sea as a whole
The Baltic Sea, an arm of the Atlantic Ocean, stretches across several countries, including Germany and Sweden. With an area of 377,000 km² and an average depth of 55 meters, it is the largest brackish bay in the world. This unique location and geographical conditions make the Baltic Sea not only a popular travel destination, but also an important trade route that has come into focus due to strategic considerations.
- Maximale Länge: 1.601 km
- Maximale Breite: 193 km
- Küstenlänge: 18.000 km
- Wasservolumen: 21.700 km³
The biological diversity of the Baltic Sea varies greatly, resulting in a varied but also sensitive ecosystem. With the challenges of climate change and environmental problems such as eutrophication, the Baltic Sea is under pressure. But with each increasing number of visitors, greater awareness can be created about protecting this unique region.
The move towards off-peak travel not only benefits guests but also supports the creation of a sustainable future for coastal regions. The Baltic Sea remains a place full of charm and possibilities - especially in autumn, when nature shines in all its glory and the beaches are quieter.
