Hi, here is one possible excursion you could do on some sunday: Nice walk along Ostsee coast, including visit http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodtener_Ufer Hamburg Hbf So, 31.07.11 ab 10:06 7b RE 21412 L?beck-Travem?nde Strand So, 31.07.11 an 11:25 1 Scharbeutz So, 31.07.11 ab 18:24 1 RE 21551 Hamburg Hbf So, 31.07.11 an 19:28 8a/b If it's too long you can also end the tour at Niendorf and take a bus to Timmendorfer Strand Bahnhof. In Niendorf/Timmendorfer Strand and Scharbeutz there are nice sandy beaches and you can swim. For many parts of the beaches you have to pay an entrance fee of some euros, in Niendorf at 53.995144,10.811083 there is a free beach zone. The route is also stored at http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4677469 You can combine this trip also with a visit to Luebeck, if you stop at the outward journey or during return. I probably send you some other tours later.
