Traffic chaos overwhelms Warnemünde Week: Visitors flock in droves!
Warnemünde Week is in full swing and is attracting thousands of visitors to the Baltic Sea. On Saturday, July 5th, the event was ceremoniously opened with the traditional beer keg tapping. But the large number of visitors caused massive traffic chaos in Warnemünde Baltic Sea newspaper reported. The “Westmole” car park was already full to capacity early in the morning. The underground car parks at the Hotel “Neptun” and in the Kurhaus were also largely full, which made travel difficult for many guests.
Anyone who chose to take the train also had to be patient, as the trains were very full in the morning. Among the visitors was Manuel Griese, a 31-year-old all-rounder from Dortmund who has been loyal to Warnemünder Woche for many years and also meets his friends here.
Parade and cultural highlights
The highlight of the first day of the festival was the 22nd “Niege Ümgang”, which began at 10 a.m. on Seestrasse. Countless people took part, including members of the sea rescue teams and numerous local clubs. The impressive parade was led by the Neuseddin e.V. marching band from Brandenburg. A family from Saxony, who is spending their vacation in Kühlungsborn, also made a detour to Warnemünde. Jens Berger, the father of the family, was enthusiastic: “I was last here as a child and I think the event is really nice.”
