The historic town of Torgau was on my itinerary today. 📝 As far as I know, I've never been there before, so it was about time.



The train journey 🚂 went smoothly, and from Torgau station, it's just a straight walk. The hiking trails are well-marked, so even people like me, who have no sense of direction

On a sunny day with temperatures around -8°C, I wanted to do a hike 🔃 from Neukloster to Warin and back. Along the way, I had to decide whether



⭕ to just hike around Lake Neukloster or

⭕ to hike the whole thing.



In Neukloster, I parked my car 🅿️ directly opposite the church ⛪, and after just a few minutes

Today, a sunny but cold winter Sunday with a blanket of snow was the perfect invitation to explore the Neuhäuser and Große Ribnitzer Moors. Where mosquitoes swarm in the summer, there was now a pristine white stillness.



Last summer, on the small circular path through the Neuhäuser Moor, I encountered

🤔 Sunday afternoon, no rain, but a rather gray, dreary sky – where to go? 💭💡 Fischland/Darß/Zingst is always an option.



So I drove to Ahrenshoop, parked again at the mill (🅿️ "Am Feldweg" – day ticket €3), and set off along the Bodden side towards Wustrow.

...I was one of the many people 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻 who were thronging through Lübeck's city center today. So I tried to find a route a little off the beaten track, so there would be one less person in the crush. 🙃



I reached the Trave River via Hüxstraße; despite the pleasant weather

There are eleven Christmas markets in Lübeck this year, and I wanted to check out ten of them today. 🔎 I thought it would be relatively quiet on Mondays – but I was wrong; there were sooo many people around. I don't even want to imagine what it's like on weekends. 🙀



From the main train station, I strolled

This Sunday, the weather changed from torrential rain to sunshine – a good reason to head towards Darß again.



But I didn't go that far, because Wustrow, the first town on Fischland, was already my destination.



This former seafaring and fishing village was an island until the end of the 14th century and

I thought I'd see what the Hütter monastery ponds were up to, parked my car 🚗 at the train station in Althof (there's plenty of space there), and set off towards Hütter Wohld.



I was greeted by a fragrant 🍁🍂 autumn forest, where the sun rarely ventured today. ⛅ The rustling leaves underfoot concealed

When you hear "Ahrenshoop," you think of hot, sunny days, 🌞⛱️, lying in a beach chair, listening to the gentle lapping of the waves, drowned out by the noise of the bathers 🏊🏼‍♀️🌊...



Today was a stormy Sunday afternoon with drizzle, but not very cold - and I found it ideal for taking a closer look

Today I took the 🚂 train to Lübeck, and my tour began and ended at the main train station. Rainy weather was forecast, but that didn't stop me from wandering through this beautiful city again after only five days.

I crossed the city moat on the Doll's Bridge. It owes its name to
