saying good-bye to the baltic sea - but not for too long.

these are the last few pictures of my summer vacation trip to the baltic sea. i write this in anticipation of my next trip there, as i'm having another vacation next week. i've never been at the baltic sea in autumn, so i'm definitely stoked. let's hope it's going to be as beautiful and comforting as it was in the summer.

i didn't make a lot of photos anymore because my camera gave up on me constantly. i was a bit sad about this, but alas, i had the chance to take it all in with my two eyes, anyway.

we visited travemünde again and got a chance to look at old sailing vessels.

a little harbour overview.

shortly before my camera said good-bye forever. this is the tea house in timmendorfer strand.

and not far away from it there is this japanese style inspired garden & house. it's an art trade company for asian art & objects. a few meters onward there is another asian-styled house which is also part of the company. there you can find everything about asian literature. you could say that someone out there called jürgen huhnke really loves asian culture and decided to live out his passion by the german baltic sea.

and my last picture of the sea. but soon...

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...

july '20: a boat ride across the lakes.

starting point in malchow harbour. when you're in the mecklenburg lakelands you need to do some of the many boat rides they offer up all around the various lakes! that's really sort of the best way to get a little overview over the many lake destinations and being on the water and feeling the wind on your face ( or the rain 😂 ) and seeing the life in the water and the landscapes around you, it's just special, i think! they often also tell you historic bits and pieces of the lakes, informing you on possible sights you should seek out, too! when you book a tour, you can choose between big day trips crossing several lakes, depending from where you start, or you can choose short rides that last a couple of hours and perhaps even have a theme like a sunset tour or a romance tour ( possibly with romantic dinner for two options 😉 ). from malchow you can choose between two tour providers: reederei pickran & the blau-weiße-flotte . there are tours that include up to 7 lakes, ...
