Alter Strom
The Alter Strom is a tidal channel in Warnemünde that winds through the seaside resort and connects to the Baltic Sea. The waterway is lined with historic buildings, fishing boats, and local businesses that open directly onto the water.
The waterway developed over centuries through natural processes and became central to the settlement's economy. It shaped the location's development as a harbor and eventually drew visitors seeking seaside attractions.
Walk along the waterfront promenade to see the channel in its full context. The entire area is accessible on foot, with multiple viewpoints and pathways offering good vantage points throughout.
Traditional fishing boats still operate on the waterway, maintained by local fishermen who keep ancient maritime practices alive. These vessels represent a working connection between the resort and its seafaring past.
