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 […]
Rostock & Warnemünde
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 […]

Bow Wave in Warnemünde aka. Warnifornia
*Source of featured picture. (The oh so famous “Fährwelle” in Warnemünde) Would surf-riding at the Baltic Sea seem like the most common things to do? You will be surprised.

A Whole Year of Winter (or Check the Weather before Coming to Rostock!)
Summer is the best week of the year. This article was written in an hour of frustration about the weather changing to stormy and rainy after spending the day in the library and wanting to spend some time outside after working the whole day. The following picture was taken on the 23rd June 2017. You […]
Welcome to Ice Cream Heaven – the “Eiswerkstatt”
I had actually wanted to introduce the Eiswerkstatt to you. Before I started writing this blog post, I looked up on balticseabackpackertips.com if anyone of my fellow students had written about it already.

open-air “Shakespeare” in Rostock’s city center
Last weekend, I felt the urgent need to go out on a Saturday night and enjoy myself far away from the comforts of my couch. So, I knew I wanted to do something which wasn’t clubbing or eating out but I didn’t really know what that something was. Therefore, I did what every smart, young […]
Around the Warnow River (Part 2)
In “Around the Warnow River (Part1)” you came along the port, strawberry fields and equestrian farms and stopped in “Stuthof”. The next stage leads you through an adjacent coastal forest with the appearance of a fairytale. The 3 miles mainly go straight on forest soil and a strip of grass (Caution: Midges!). On the way […]
Taking the high road/bike path

Most of these bike paths are marvelously located and run through the loveliest sights of nature. In this blog, I want to recommend a specific […]
It’s Happy Hour Somewhere my Dear! – Overview
Yes, I’m writing about Nightlife. But: No, this won’t be too much about the cosiness of pubs or friendliness of staff, but about the cheapness of drinks, …which is the most important feature if you ask me 😉 Especially if you are in a city like Rostock, where there’s a small, and welcoming pub or restaurant […]
