And not just on a whim: the city lies exactly between the island of Poel and the departure point for the grey seal boat tours \u2013 ideal for reaching both destinations conveniently by bike.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"792\">Wismar also proved to be a perfect base for cycling tours. Numerous well-developed bike paths lead out of the city in all directions \u2013 an excellent foundation for exploring the region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div

The city pleasantly surprised me with its calm, clean, and charming atmosphere.

The Hanseatic cities benefited from shared trade routes, protection against piracy, and a stronger negotiating position with other powers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"504\" data-end=\"584\">Other important

So, my excitement was great when the opportunity arose to observe the grey seals in the Bay of Wismar. I was fortunate enough to get a spot on the MS Seeb\u00e4r and take part in a guided tour.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"373\" data-end=\"662\">But even during the trip, it became clear: this wouldn\u2019t be an easy day for photography. The distance to the animals, the constantly rocking boat, and the many other nature enthusiasts on board made taking photos a real challenge.

Were they exclusively grey seals, or had a few harbour seals joined them?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"325\" data-end=\"674\">Most of the time, grey seals make up the majority on the Lieps sandbank.

This depends on many factors \u2014 such as the tides, the weather, or disturbances caused by recreational boats that sometimes pass too close to the

While there are some typical distinguishing features, it can be tricky to tell them apart, especially on the water or from a distance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"277\" data-end=\"814\">Grey seals are noticeably larger than harbour seals: male grey seals can grow up to 2.5 meters long, while harbour seals reach a maximum length of about 1.6 meters. The most striking difference, however, is the shape of their heads. Harbour seals have a rounded face, whereas the grey seal\u2019s head is elongated and more angular. I often find it especially difficult to make a clear identification with young animals \u2014 they can look very similar when they\u2019re young. It\u2019s only with fully grown animals that the difference becomes more obvious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-30019-53\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-30019-53-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-30019-53-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"62\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;}\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-30093\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-35-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"grey seals in the Bay of Wismar\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-35-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-35-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-35-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-35-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-35-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-35-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-35-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-35-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-35-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-35-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-30019-54\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-30019-54-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-30019-54-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"63\" data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;5px 5px 5px 5px&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#1e94a0&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_color&quot;:&quot;#1e94a0&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;margin&quot;:&quot;0px 0px 0px 0px&quot;,&quot;font_color&quot;:&quot;#ffffff&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-30019-54-0-0\">\n<div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>Interesting:<\/strong><\/span> Another distinguishing feature is the nose \u2014 if you\u2019re close enough to see it.

They almost look like a bottle calmly drifting \u2014 hence the term \u201cbottling.\u201d It\u2019s even suspected that they sometimes doze or sleep in this position.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"681\" data-end=\"858\">Unfortunately, I didn\u2019t get to see any grey seals \u201cbottling\u201d that day \u2014 but I did see some swimming and curiously peeking out of the water.

Yes, I didn\u2019t know that before either \u2014 but it makes sense: in this position, they really do look almost like a banana.

Usually, it\u2019s simply due to their annual molt. Both grey seals and harbour seals renew their fur once a year. During this time, they rest on land \u2014 or, like the grey seals in the Bay of Wismar, comfortably on the Lieps sandbank.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"384\" data-end=\"637\">By the way, grey seal pups are born with white, fluffy fur called lanugo. While it looks soft and cuddly, it doesn\u2019t protect the pups from cold water. That\u2019s why they would quickly get cold when wet, even though they are physically already able to swim.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"736\">In the past, I\u2019ve had the chance to observe grey seals <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/en\/grey-seals-on-the-duene-of-heligoland-in-winter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on Heligoland<\/a> \u2014 a truly special experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-30019-71\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-30019-71-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-30019-71-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"81\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;}\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-30111\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-44-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"grey seals on Heligoland\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-44-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-44-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-44-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-44-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-44-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-44-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-44-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-44-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-44-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-44-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-30019-72\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-30019-72-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-30019-72-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"82\" data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;5px 5px 5px 5px&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#1e94a0&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_color&quot;:&quot;#1e94a0&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;margin&quot;:&quot;0px 0px 0px 0px&quot;,&quot;font_color&quot;:&quot;#ffffff&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-30019-72-0-0\">\n<div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>Information:<\/strong> <\/span>Did you know that harbour seal pups can swim shortly after birth?

In the Baltic Sea, female grey seals choose secluded beach areas to give birth to a single pup.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"357\" data-end=\"633\">The nursing period lasts about two to three weeks, after which the mother leaves her pup.

This allows researchers to determine which grey seals live in or regularly visit the Bay of Wismar \u2014 and whether new animals join the group.

During this time, they find especially many fish, which draws them closer to the coast.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"257\" data-end=\"608\">Did you know that grey seals had almost completely disappeared from our coasts by the early 20th century? Intensive hunting and severe water pollution had nearly wiped them out. It wasn\u2019t until the 1990s, with a strict hunting ban and noticeable improvements in water quality thanks to numerous conservation measures, that they began to return slowly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"610\" data-end=\"868\">According to information on the Instagram profile of BUND Kl\u00fctzer Winkel, about 200 grey seals now live permanently in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania.

These images are hard to bear but clearly show how plastic waste, fishing nets, or fishing lines can tighten around the animals\u2019 necks. This is especially life-threatening for young grey seals, as they are still growing \u2014 such constrictions can even lead to suffocation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"433\" data-end=\"618\">An important tip from BUND: when playing with dogs, it\u2019s better to use flying discs instead of throwing rings. Throwing rings can wrap around a grey seal\u2019s neck and dangerously tighten.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"620\" data-end=\"706\">If you ever see a grey seal on the beach, please follow these rules according to BUND:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep at least 100 meters distance from the seals<\/li>\n<li>Never block their escape route to the sea<\/li>\n<li>Do not feed or touch the seals<\/li>\n<li>Keep dogs on a leash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"47\" data-end=\"285\">You can report a seal sighting to the BUND Seal Hotline (0152-37969472) or the German Oceanographic Museum (0173-9688267). BUND Mecklenburg-West Pomerania also sets up temporary seal exclusion zones when a seal is resting on the beach.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"287\" data-end=\"500\">If you\u2019re interested in a boat tour to see the grey seals in the Bay of Wismar, I can only recommend taking the opportunity \u2014 it\u2019s a truly special experience to observe the grey seals in their natural environment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-30119\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-48-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"grey seals in the Bay of Wismar\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-48-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-48-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-48-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-48-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-48-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-48-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-48-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-48-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-48-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kegelrobben-in-der-Wismarer-Bucht-48-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-30019-85\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-30019-85-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-30019-85-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"95\" data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;5px 5px 5px 5px&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#1e94a0&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_color&quot;:&quot;#1e94a0&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;margin&quot;:&quot;0px 0px 0px 0px&quot;,&quot;font_color&quot;:&quot;#ffffff&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-30019-85-0-0\">\n<div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>Tipp:<\/strong><\/span> Be sure to arrive early, as reservations are not possible.
