yes, we visited two towns on one day. i tell you, it was splendid. especially with the weather being sunny, stormy, rainy and full of clouds. we had a look at the castle eutin ( which wasn't open, unfortunately ), made a walk through the castle park, listened to opera rehearsals, had a walk through the city, had a look at its water tower, and also again, a church was involved.
in plön we mostly walked the peninsula near the castle, reading facts about our solar system, enjoying nature and the lake with its little islands.
i can't emphasize it enough: everything was so charming and just after my fancy.
oh and sorry because of the many pictures. couldn't decide which ones to leave behind.
the 'großer eutiner see' ( big lake eutin ).
there was a small little cottage in the back of the castle's garden. it was so green and lush and roosters were running around, picking food, and a big black dog sat in front of the cottage, watching eveything in a calm and unagitated way.
it was the most idyllic place.
this old barn is used for the annual eutin music festival. right next to it was a small open air theatre and rehearsals were going on. we met a few singers on their way to the theatre, singing. it was a strange experience, kind of ... cinematic.
huge chinese vases in the middle of a town built with bricks and klinker. i loved this contrast.
the town center. in the background is the church st. michaelis.
glass bowls, figurines and vases. there was an antiquarian who hawked all kinds of beautiful pieces.
in the church.
shadows.
view onto the lake.
then we walked to the water tower. the pathways were very steep and the houses got a lot tinier the more we made our way up.
and also, they were very overgrown.
the water tower.
the entrance of a school.
it's not all bricks up here.
then we made our boat tour.

the park of castle plön was immensely huge. there were old buildings everywhere, part of the castle complex.
even a small summer residence.
old avenues.
a 'sitting on a bench' family portrait!
the sun in miniature.
small streets and bricks, bricks, bricks.
