Barnstorfer Wald – shelter for Rostock
Everybody in Rostock seems to enjoy barbequing in the summer. But unlike most other students, I like to go to places, that aren’t overcrowded with people. To be honest: I also like to spend my time around the harbour when I just want to sit down to drink and eat, but when activities are involved […]
Enjoy A Royal Stay in Rostock on Herrentag
On May 10th the male creation of Germany celebrates a very special day: a day on which youngsters and oldsters roam the cities of Good ol’ Germany without any upper body coverage and carrying ‘Bollerwagen‘ overloaded with alcohol behind them. A common sight on this day is how Germans devolve back to basic animal instincts […]
Being a bookworm in Rostock
I’d speak of myself as a boundless lover of books. Ever since I was able to read, I did it excessively. I remember the high score of my teenage years consisting of around 10 books which I read on one weekend. Of course, each of them wasn’t 500 pages, but I’m quite proud of this […]
A Vegan Guide for Rostock – Part 1: The Perks of Spring
As the temperatures are finally rising after a truly extended winter, leaving the house doesn’t make you feel like you’re on an excursion to the North Pole any longer… or like you’re about to lose a limb because of a third-degree frostbite… or like the adrenaline is kicking in because you managed to ride your […]
The Kanonsberg (Cannon hill): unexpectedly one of the most peaceful places in Rostock
When you hear the name of this small hill for the first time what would you think? Personally, I would connect it to war and history I would never think about a peaceful place. But that is exactly what it is: the grotesque interaction between the still standing (of course not functioning) canons and the beautiful view […]

Today, however, I will put you out of your misery: next time you’re in Stralsund go and grab your kebab at Analya’s. I’ll tell […]
Gespensterwald Nienhagen: a gorgeous place to escape the city
During the warm summer days, everyone feels the desire to seek a quiet and relaxed place in and around Rostock. As Warnemünde is often totally overcrowded with tourists, there is not much enjoyment happening for me. Instead, I like to go to other destinations located on the coastline like Nienhagen. The village itself is directly […]

Electro-Party Time in Rostock
I read a lot about the Studentenkeller or LT introduced by other students here on balticseabackpackertips.com. These clubs are fine, no doubt, but while scrolling through blog posts about partying in Rostock, I missed other clubs, especially for people who like electronic music. That’s why I want to introduce two really cool events to you […]

Find the source of featured image here. What all of the Hanseatic cities have is this old and enchanted medieval flair. If you like Harry Potter you will definitely find some parts of town that will give you – with a bit of imagination – the feeling of being in a part of Hogsmeade or […]
Fancy Cakes between Coffee and Flowers – Visit the „Törtchenlokal Waldenberger“
While spending a few months abroad at the beginning of the year, I developed an eternal love for cafés. I started to enjoy sitting down for a while, having a coffee and some delicious pastry with a friend and chatting about the latest news. When I came back to Germany I was totally sad because […]
