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 […]
Nature
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 […]
Walking on air
Do you like walking and strolling around? I admit I do sometimes have difficulties motivating myself… I really don´t enjoy riding a bike and similarly, running or walking around outside can be a burden rather than a relaxing activity. It happens from time to time, though, that I am up for it. It happens to […]
Take a break from the city trouble on the car- & carefree island Hiddensee

Seems like it’s time for you to spend a day on the remote island Hiddensee in the northeast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This isle is not like any other in the […]
Definitely Visit Warnemünde Beach … But Not in Summer!
Even though the weather is awfully changeable at the moment, the summer is right around the corner.

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, […]
A Walk Among the Dead
Finding a quiet spot in the city isn’t always as easy as it may sound. Surely, there are some in town that are made for a nice afternoon stroll: Rostock’s very own port where all kinds of ships and boats float peacefully on the river Warnow. That lovely green park right behind the Kunsthalle which […]
A ferrytale in the city
Once upon a time there was a boy in Rostock who felt an urgent need to escape from the crowded downtown at least for an hour. While he was walking along the Warnow River next to “Am Strande“ (the biggest road in the city center), he took a look to the other river bank […]
Capo North – 54° 40′ 35″ N, 13° 26′ 16″ E
Remember your teacher – what does he wrote with? I think chalk! Ever been at the Cape of North of M-V? No? Now you can combine two things at once. Visit the chalk cliffs on the Isle of Rügen and enjoy a great time in purpose of refreshing. An impressing place, where you can rest […]
