In beautiful cycling weather 🌞 we started from Ratekau in the direction of Warnsdorf along the Hemmelsdorfersee.
The first stop was Karl's farm where we were given the coffee to go in a jam jar. (Something different ☕🍰) The path led us through Travemünde towards Brodtener Steilufer. Mega view over the Baltic Sea.⛵
So make a stop at the Hermannshöhe …

October 14, 2025,Timmendorfer Strand ,Himmelsdorfer See , Travemünde und wieder nach Hause.🙇😎🚴🚴

At home, in this weather, I'd just lie on the sofa and laze around.

But here on vacation, my darling won't give me any peace; she just wants to go outside and ride her bike.

It was cold, rainy, and quite windy, but I put on the right "clothes" and followed my darling.

September 15, 2023,Timmendorfer Strand - Hemmelsdorf - Travemünde

Today a ride with the hotel's rental bikes to Lake Hemmelsdorf. From there we continued towards Warnsdorf and visited Karl's farm. The way there was more mountainous than expected. Afterwards there was savory cake in the Thousand Schön. Freshly strengthened, we then drove to Travemünde. The city was quite full, so we quickly drove further along the cliffs towards Niendorf. …

Everything beautiful ends quickly.
Unfortunately, our vacation too .
Did the last round, visited the familiar spots and prepared for the return home.

April 28, 2025,Priwall -rund um den Hemmelsdorfer See

In perfect spring weather, we cycled through Travemünde around Lake Hemmelsdorf, with its beautiful shores and hidden swimming spots. Then we enjoyed the hustle and bustle of Timmendorf and cycled back to Priwall via the promenade and cliff path. I highly recommend it. The paths were very easy to cycle on. Along the cliffs, they were mostly gravel or firm …
