The last stop today is Flensburg. We find the parking lot at the fjord near the Phenomenta, from where it is nice and blue along the water 😃 We are surprised by the many beautiful inner courtyards with their small shops and localities:

For Flensburg, however, you need more time than we took, maybe next time 😇
Tomorrow we're …

Today's tour through Flensburg's old town started on Rote Straße and its five picturesque, hidden courtyards. These courtyards invite you to explore and house small shops and cafés.

Afterward, we went to Südemarkt and even more interesting courtyards. Nearby, in the Old Cemetery on Museumsberg, stands the Idstedt Lion. This monument commemorates the Battle of Idstedt in 1850.
The surrounding …

We were in Flensburg for 6 hours and certainly moved more than the time shown and less than the speed shown :-) Komoot was acting up again. Anyway, it's a beautiful city. The Danish influence is noticeable :-)

When I passed through Flensburg on the E1 back then (komoot.com/de-de/tour/717387723), I had two problems. The first was Deutsche Bahn, which unceremoniously let me start my second E1 hiking holiday 1 1/2 hours late, and the second problem was a seagull with which I fought over my fish roll, and which promptly spilled a good portion of sherry from the …

Flensburg....I love this city with its beautiful houses, the hidden little, cute courtyards and the nice shops. The harbor also exudes a wonderful atmosphere with the Warft Cafe and the ships rocking gently in the waves.
The current bad weather doesn't bother me at all. Wrapped up warm, you can enjoy the city and its charms even in winter. You …

Today it was Flensburg's turn.
The museum harbor is always worth a visit, there are some great old yachts there. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great, we had a little drizzle later on. So we stayed indoors in churches, shops and restaurants.
It was still a nice trip 😄👍
