The nearest towns are Warin, four kilometres north, and Brüel, about four km south of Blankenberg. The Bad Kleinen–Rostock railway, which runs in an approximately west–east direction, and the mostly closed Wismar–Karow branch line, which runs in the northwest–southeast direction, cross in Blankenberg.
