Trip to German Baltic Coast

I hope to travel on a holiday along the german baltic coast sometime. I shall use my trusty 'Rough Guide to Germany' as my first and last reference book.

Locality & Map

I'd like to visit

• Schwerin
• Bad Doberan
• Rostock/Warnemunde and
• Rugen Island, where Binz seems a good place to stay.

When

This area is very busy in the summer and also very dramatic in the winter. I need to decide. I don't need to travel in the school holidays anymore.

entry on Prora

At Heiligendamm [wikipedia], some of the villas which date back to Imperial Germany have been taken over by the Kempinski chain but that's probably more than I'll want to pay.
