Verkehrschaos overrun Warnemünde Week: Visitors flock in droves!

Warnemünde, Deutschland - The Warnemünder Week is in full swing and pulls thousands of visitors: inside to the Baltic Sea. On Saturday, July 5th, the event was ceremoniously opened with the traditional beer barrel tapping. But the large number of visitors caused a massive traffic chaos in Warnemünde, like the Ostsee-Zeitung . The “West Moles” parking lot was filled to the last place in the early morning. The underground garages at the hotel "Neptune" and in the Kurhaus were largely proven, which made the journey more difficult for many guests.

If you leave the train, you also had to be patient because 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 Week for many years and also meets his friends here.

parade and cultural highlights

The highlight of the first festival was the 22nd "Niege Ümgang", which started on Seestrasse at 10 a.m. Countless people, including members of the sea rescuers and numerous local clubs, took part here. The impressive parade was led by the Spielmannszug Neuseddin e.V. from Brandenburg. A family from Saxony who spends their vacation in Kühlungsborn also made a detour to Warnemünde. Jens Berger, the family man, was enthusiastic: "I was last here as a child and find the event really nice."

The program of the first few days also includes many musical performances and dance performances. The NeuSEDDIN Spielmannszug started at 8:00 a.m., followed by a concert by the Monday choir Marielyst from Denmark, which took place at 1:00 p.m. in the Kurhausgarten. In addition, the dance enthusiasts were not neglected, with offers for modern dances on the tea pot.

The Warnemünder Week is very popular not only because of their sporting events, which also include the 29th Beach Handball Days.
