Ribnitz-Damgarten
Ribnitz-Damgarten Review
Ribnitz-Damgarten, 30 km (19 mi) northeast of Warnemünde, is the center of the amber (in German, Bernstein) business, unique to the Baltic Coast. Amber is a yellow-brown fossil formed from the sap of ancient conifers and is millions of years old. Head for a beach and join the locals in the perennial quest for amber stones washed up among the seaweed.
