This walk starts at the pleasure pier (in German "Seebrücke") of Bad Wendorf in Mecklenburg-Wester Pomerania ("Mecklenburg-Vorpommern") at the Baltic Sea in Germany. The pleasure pier is one of the few relicts that remind of the glorious time of Wendorf.

In the 19th and early 20th century, Wendorf was a glamorous seaside village. Later it became part of the Hanseatic City of Wismar. During the time of the German Democratic Republic, the communists transformed it to a dwelling area which is dominated by four-store buildings.

But please take care, also a lot of birds are brooding here. Please do not leave the pathes and do not make too much noise. If you have a dog please do not let it run free.
