When my last Blog was about the Schwerin Castle and the different ways people can use and enjoy it, I wrote about the possibility to get married in the castle, for example in the castle church. The Schwerin castle church has an active church community, but if there is no church service or wedding ceremony […]
Travel Activities
Schwerin´s Castle from various perspectives
It´s not just the stunning view, there are also other aspects I associate with Schwerin castle. This beaut is used in a formal and an informal way concurrently. On the one hand, you can visit the castle as the seat of the Landtag of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania where politicians legislate day by day. On the other […]
A chilled way to spend Father’s Day
Eager for ease? Then getting out of the city and spending some lovely time in nature alongside your dad probably sounds appealing, right? At least that was how my father and I wanted to spend our time together on Father’s Day this year. He was able to get away from work temporarily, so we could […]
From Rostock to Schwerin – into a fairy tale in one hour
With a population just under 100.000 people Schwerin is Germany´s smallest state capital. 91 kilometers; northwestern direction; less than a one-hour car ride, and you delve into a fairy tale, one starts in Schwerin and will end wherever you want to. The proximity to Rostock makes it a great choice for a day trip. Hence […]
Glashagen – Back To Nature
Since the internet is swamped with people, who needs to show how happy they are all the time, and how down to earth they are (while taking a sip from their over-priced-Starbucks-coffee-to-go-cup), finding peace in nature and meditations, I thought, there must be people who will love it in Glashagen. Glashagen is not far from […]
Rostocker Artnight in the Old Town
On May, 25th the Rostocker Artnight took place in the Old Town (by klicking on the link you find recent acitvities and events in the Old Town) where you could walk along the small cobblestoned streets and also into the Nikolai-and Petrichurch to look at new and old art from various local artists. The blue […]
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 […]
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 […]
Water of Life at the Baltic Sea
There is currently an abundance of (super) hero/heroines. I’d always like to gloat at them all with a saying that deserves far more coverage: “I can make whisky disappear – what’s your superpower?” When I first arrived in Rostock, I didn’t find it particularly easy to find many places that offered a decent range of […]
Enjoy A Royal Garden Experience
If you ask foreigners about Rostock, you often get two replies: “What’s a Rostock?” and “Ah yes, there’s the beach!“ However, the fact that Rostock has several other beautiful natural and recreational areas in addition to the beach often remains an insider tip even for the inhabitants. The botanical garden is no exception. It is […]
