This blog entry will focus only on the Stadtbibliothek. A second part about the university library, and possibly more book and library-related musings will follow at some point. I realise that this might be a niche topic on a blog targeted, at least according to its name, at backpackers, i.e. tourists. But then again, it […]
Rostock & Warnemünde
Café central – the best breakfast á la carte in Rostock
It is Sunday morning and you wake up with a tremendous desire for pancakes. But you don’t have all the ingredients in your house to make those fluffy, filling pancakes. What are you going do and where are you going to go? I can absolutely recommend to breakfast at Café Central. It is a rustic […]

The perfect Sunday: bike tour, picking strawberries, Karls Erlebnis-Dorf and Hohe Düne
Last Sunday, we got a visit from my best friend and her dog. Since the weather was sunny with a little wind, we were looking for an outdoor activity to which we could take her dog with us. Besides the typical suggestions like Warnemünde or the Harbour, which she has seen a hundred times, we […]
How I Got a Boating License as a Student
If you come to Rostock and think that you can easily ride on the Baltic Sea by boat, you should be warned: In general, boats with a power of more than 15 HP require a sports boat licence in Germany. If you would like to stay in our beautiful city for a longer period of […]
Why You Should Walk Along the Beach Naked at least Once in Rostock
If you read this title, some of you will think: “Naked on the beach?! That’s outrageous. Forbidden! Report this post now! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” Wait a minute, my little embarrassed keyboard warrior. Cause you’re right. In almost all areas of Germany walking around naked is forbidden and can be punished with high fines. Yet, some Germans are […]
Beaches I Don’t Hate
places I don’t hate pt. 1 Let’s be honest, people are annoying. There is no need to feel bad about that fact. There are simply instances when you can’t endure another living soul in your personal space. Some people take longer to reach that point, which is admirable, other’s reach it much faster, like me.

Griffins Football match: definitely worth experiencing!
I love to give presents to my closest friends or family. This time, I thought I’ll give my boyfriend a special additional present to his main present for his birthday. I collected some ideas on Pinterest and I began to tinker. I made him a little jar with popsicle sticks where I wrote down activities […]
The City Harbour and Barbecuing: Two Ingredients to Win the Rostocker’s Hearts
Hey y’all! Today’s weather got me like crazy. It’s been such a long time since I could leave my apartment without a jacket or anything as I had to in the winter. This is exactly the time when all the citizens of Rostock set off for the city harbour to have a nice barbecue in […]
Al Porto: sunny and calm place to enjoy a yummy Italian pizza
My friends and I love to go out and eat at nice restaurants but we always choose the same restaurants again and yet again whenever we go out. There is nothing wrong with the fact that you enjoy to go to your favorite restaurant and always have the same delicious dish but if you continue […]
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 […]
