Travemünde [1] is a borough of Lübeck and a sea resort which is very famous with families. Travemünde is a harbour town where daily passenger and cargo ferries leaves to Scandinavia & the Baltic states. Originally Travemünde was a small fisher village but it's position at the river Trave & the proximity to Lübeck let it grew to a smaller harbour town. Today tourism is the main source of employment and income. The old town maintained it's sleepy character despite the fact that at weekends there are loads of tourists.
