Does anyone know how long a train ride it is from Rostock to Lubeck? Is there anything of interest in Rostock? Thanks for any information.

[url="http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en"]This site[/url] is the official German railways site (that link should bring up the English language timetable search page). It looks like it takes almost 2 hours between Rostock and Lübeck, with one change at Bad Kleinen. If you search for Lübeck, make sure you either type (or copy-and-paste) it in like that (including the umlaut over the "u"), or else type it in as "Luebeck" which is the recognised way of spelling out a letter with an umlaut. The abbreviation "Hbf" means Hauptbahnhof, or main railway station.

I think Rostock is very charming. And, in MHO, is a great alternative instead of the madness of trying to see Berlin in a day with a 5-hour minimum round-trip commute.
