Wismar and its fish stands are legendary – primarily because you can still get the fish right where it belongs: by the water. The Old Harbour is the heart of it all if you're looking for an authentic fish roll or freshly caught fish.

From the former fortress in Kirchdorf, there is a beautiful view over the harbor and the tranquil bay of the island of Poel. Between green remnants of the ramparts and old trees, the view opens up to the anchored sailboats, the small fishing cutters, and the red tile roofs of the village.

The port of Timmendorf is located on the west coast of the island of Poel and belongs to the municipality of Ostseebad Insel Poel. Situated directly on Wismar Bay, it serves fishing, water sports, and tourism. The port consists of several jetties for recreational and fishing boats. Besides local fishermen who land their catch here, the port is primarily used by sailboats and motorboats during the summer months.
