Boltenhagen is a seaside resort with about 2,500 inhabitants in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany, close to the old hanseatic cities of Lübeck and Wismar and is among the 3 most historic resorts on the German coast line. Boltenhagen is located in the north of Nordwestmecklenburg district in an area called Klützer Winkel.
The resort offers a wide view of the Bay of Lübeck; a 5km stretch of a wide and sandy beach, a boardwalk, restaurants and health spas, (including general health spas and also health spas for handicapped (blind) people).
Boltenhagen is especially famous with families for its shallow beaches combined with a superb water quality.
A marina with fishing harbour connects to the resort at it's eastern most end, offering hotels and private beaches overlooking the vast Wohlenberger Wiek, a shallow bay inbetween Boltenhagen and Wismar.
West of the town and close to the seaside lies the picturesque little castle of Gross-Schwansee, recently refurbished and converted into a luxury hotel. South of it, Schloß Bothmer, a remarkable Tudor-style castle in the nearby village of Klütz can be visited.
