Sports to do
Ice-cold enjoyment at M-V’s biggest ice-stadium
All ice-princesses and ice-princes pay attention! If you want to do some sports in winter in Rostock, you can proceed on seductively slippery terrain. The biggest ice-stadium in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern welcomes you to go ice-skating every year from September to April. Every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, young and old meet at pleasant temperatures and cool DJ-music […]
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 […]
Lax at the Beach
I do play Lacrosse in Rostock and I love it. Unfortunately it is a really uncommon sport in Germany – YET – but as a “Lacrosser” our mission is to grow the game. And that’s exactly what we try in Rostock. Since there is a Kieler Woche and the Travemünder Woche in Lübeck there has to be […]
Swimming in Gehlsdorf – “Einfach Wohlfühlen”
Have you ever questioned yourself where to swim in Rostock? Probably you’ve discovered the natatorium “Neptun” or the Baltic Sea but latter can be a chilly experience especially in the wintertime. For this and typically rainy coast weather the indoor swimming pool in Gehlsdorf is a good option to chill and relax. The pool […]
Enjoying Rostock from the Water – Stand Up Paddling
Most people discover Rostock on foot but today, I want to introduce a sporty alternative to you. Stand Up Paddling (SUP) is a reeeeeaaally trendy sports activity here in Rostock. You take a surfboard and a paddle and sail your way across the Warnow or Baltic Sea. You can rent a SUP board for € […]
Stories of a Martian: Gyms and lovely “free” things
Hello, my lovely readers. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been stuck in here. I have exciting news, though – I joined a gym! Yes, yes, you heard it right. I joined a gym close to my student dormitory and so far I am loving it. Surprisingly enough, I don’t really like exercising – […]
Krakow am See – more than just an average lake
For those of you who actually live in Rostock, this will sound ridiculously unreal, but there really were actually some sunny days in the end of April. After all these rainy days, I decided to do something outside. But what to do? I was tired of my bike and Warnemünde … again and again and again!? […]
Müritz Adventure – Or How to Successfully Escape Mass Tourism
For those among you, who are seeking a little peace & silence and – maybe more important – a beautiful alternative to getting sunburn at overcrowded beaches of the Baltic See, I want to introduce the Müritz to you. Never heard of it? Well,… good for you then 😉 It might not be the most […]
Discover the Beautiful Nature of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania by Canoeing
Visiting Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania most tourists think of sunbathing at the Baltic Sea or discovering the hanseatic cities Rostock, Stralsund and Wismar. But in my opinion the region also has a lot of nature on offer which is worth discovering it, especially by canoe. Before the river Warnow flows through Rostock and into the Baltic Sea, […]
Hockey in Rostock
Did you know you can play Hockey in Rostock? I mean real Hockey – not Ice Hockey or Floor Hockey – but real Hockey that has been played since the 19th century. Here in Rostock, we have a fun little sports club called “HSG Uni Rostock“. We have a youth team with age ranges of 6 to […]
“Life is like riding a bicycle.[…]”
“[…] To keep your balance you must keep moving” (Albert Einstein) Life is also like a box of chocolates (Forrest Gump) or a rollercoaster (Ronan Keating – former, Irish-born member of Boyzone) respectively. So to start this blog with one of those generic, wannabe-wisdom quotes about what life is like might’ve been a bit of […]
