Looking for a fun sport with cool people? Well, look no further: Ultimate Frisbee might be just the thing for you. Ultimate Frisbee, or just Ultimate as the cool kids like to call it (actually it’s a copyright thing, but never mind), is a team sport played with – you might have guessed it – […]
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 […]
„Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” (Albert Einstein) This quote by Albert Einstein hits the nail right on the head. Cycling is a good physical activity to alleviate stress and useful to forget all every day’s worries. A day trip with a bike around the Warnow River […]
Even though the weather is awfully changeable at the moment, the summer is right around the corner. And summer means enjoying the sun, having the most delicious and adventurous sorts of ice cream and above all going to the beach. But not for me! I’m one of those weird persons who prefer winter over summer […]
When you visit Rostock and take a stroll through the most popular shopping street “Lange Straße” in the city centre, it’s easy to find the big and commercial book stores that are well known all over Germany. And I don’t want to talk them down in any way! You can spend a whole afternoon looking […]
Again with the quotes about life? But you gotta admit, life is indeed sometimes as hard and tough as a hoof, so we here in Germany say: “Das Leben ist kein Ponyhof!” (See what I did there? ‘Hoof’ and ‘Hof’? Eh?) What’s with the rhyming you might ask and wonder? Well, let me tell you […]
Summer’s here. Finally. And what does the average Rostockian do on a hot summer day? Go to the beach, of course! That’s what I wanted to do last Friday when we had 32°C and the entire city felt like it would start to boil any minute. Actually, I’d been planning the entire thing with some […]
Picture this image from a Hollywood romance: A boy and a girl – freshly fallen in love, sitting by a campfire by the sea and enjoying a glass of red wine.
Here are the five reasons why to take a blanket, drinks, and food and to ferry across the Warnow at a Port Party. You don’t get crushed by the crowd. A lot of people gather there when there is a port party. I usually want to avoid that and find myself a nice sunny […]
(K)nope, not talking about these guys! Unfortunately, Leslie and her gang have not made it to Rostock, yet. But, Rostock’s own Parks Department does the job just as well — if not even better. Looking at Rostock from above, you will not only see a lot of green in-between buildings and blocks, but also many […]
Free WiFi for everyone! Smartphones, tablets and notebooks are great. Unfortunately, they are all pretty useless without an internet connection. Data plans are expensive (especially for foreign countries), often limited, and the connection is always the slowest when you’re in a hurry. Of course, there are the usual hotspots at cafés, hotels, or restaurants — […]
A few years ago I watched a documentary about Cologne, focusing mostly on the biggest bridge in the city (the Hohenzollernbrücke). There is an odd kind of sentimental, bonding, romantic thing that has been happening and spreading throughout Germany (and further) for at least a decade. It has even reached Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, although an old […]
