Discover Germany anew

Back towards home

After we said goodbye, I spent a few more days in Denmark. I didn't visit Copenhagen, as my system was still too overwhelmed from the previous leg of the journey.

I admired the beautiful chalk cliffs of Mons Klint that rise steeply 200 meters above the sea and create interesting colors in reaction with the saltwater of the Baltic Sea.

Afterwards, I settled down for two nights at a campsite to recharge a bit. Thankfully, the weather was wonderful, and I could gradually regain my strength in the sun and water. In the past few weeks in Sweden, I had rediscovered the element of water for myself. I remembered that as a child, I went swimming at least once a week and loved to move in the water, swim, and dive.

Back in Germany

When I crossed the border back into Germany, I was overwhelmed by a pleasant feeling of security. I first drove to Timmendorfer Strand and then picked a cozy parking spot on a private meadow of a farm.

Northern Germany

Lübeck became one of my favorite cities in Germany. I had no idea how beautiful this little town is, with its red brick buildings and impressive architecture. The Holstentor as a landmark and the beautiful old churches enchanted me.

In the Lüneburg Heath, I went on a long hike with an acquaintance I met through a camper platform (Camp'n'Connect), together with her sweet dog Bella.

Adrenaline

I was in the mood for a bit of action, so the next day I went to Heidepark and slowly worked my way up to the roller coasters. At first, I was really cautious and didn’t dare to ride them. I started small and eventually worked up the courage to ride almost all the roller coasters. It was a really joyful day.

Reunion

After that, I drove to Achim, near Bremen, to visit my acquaintances from the ferry from Hirtshals to Kristiansund. Irene, Horst, and Emil welcomed me warmly and spoiled me with delicious food and a lovely evening. I was allowed to spend the night with Emma on their property.

Making my way

From there, I made my way home a bit faster to visit my family and friends for a few days before heading back to Schweibenalp.

I passed through beautiful little places, mountainous regions, half-timbered houses, spas, and finally did a hike through the Dragon Gorge to the famous Wartburg near Eisenach.

Friends and family

At home, we celebrated Julia's birthday, and I enjoyed some hot summer days at the outdoor pool. The time spent with family was also challenging for me this time. There were some emotional issues that required me to stand up for myself. I still find it incredibly difficult to do, but ultimately I am proud of how I handled things and how they turned out. I believe they brought us closer together in the end.

Resting

I am now looking forward to a 'time out' on Schweibenalp. Time to process the past weeks. Once again, to spend a longer time in one place, to have a regular daily routine again. To see loved ones again, to return to the place that touched my heart so deeply and whose worldview resonates so much with my innermost self. And I am looking forward to the stories that await me.

To be continued..

ENGLISH VERSION

Back to safe waters

After we said goodbye, I spent a few more days in Denmark. I didn't visit Copenhagen, as my system was still too overwhelmed from the previous leg of the trip.

I visited the beautiful chalk cliffs of Mons Klint, which rise 200 meters above the sea and form interesting colors in reaction with the salt water of the Baltic Sea.

Then I settled down at a campsite for two nights to recharge my batteries a bit. Luckily, the weather was beautiful, and I was able to slowly regain my strength in the sun and water. In the last few weeks in Sweden, I had rediscovered the element of water for myself. I remembered that as a child, I went swimming at least once a week and loved moving in the water, swimming, and diving.

Back in Germany

When I crossed the border back into Germany, I was overcome by a pleasant feeling of security. First, I drove to Timmendorfer Strand and then chose a cozy parking spot on a private meadow belonging to a farm.

Northern Germany

Lübeck became one of my favorite cities in Germany. I had no idea how beautiful this little town is with its red brick buildings and impressive architecture. The Holstentor, the city's landmark, and the beautiful old churches enchanted me.

In the Lüneburg Heath, I went on a long hike with an acquaintance I met through a camper platform (Camp'n'Connect) together with her cute dog Bella.

I was in the mood for a bit of action, so the next day I went to Heidepark and slowly worked my way up to the roller coasters. At first, I was very cautious and didn't dare to ride them. I started small and eventually worked my way up to riding almost all of the roller coasters. It was a really fun day.

Reunion

Afterwards, I drove to Achim, near Bremen, to visit my acquaintances from the ferry from Hirtshals to Kristiansund. Irene, Horst, and Emil gave me a warm welcome and spoiled me with delicious food and a lovely evening. I was allowed to stay overnight with Emma on their property.

Driving down

From there, I made my way home a little faster to visit my family and friends for a few days before continuing back to Schweibenalp.

I passed through beautiful little villages, mountainous regions, half-timbered houses, and health care towns, and finally hiked through the Dragon Gorge to the famous Wartburg Castle near Eisenach.

Friends and family

At home, we celebrated Julia's birthday and I enjoyed a few hot summer days at the outdoor pool. The time with my family was also challenging for me this time. There were some emotional issues that required me to stand up for myself. I still find it incredibly difficult to do that, but in the end, I am proud of how I handled things and how they turned out. I think they brought us closer together in the end.

To see loved ones again, to return to the place that touched my heart so deeply and whose worldview is so much in tune with my innermost feelings. And I am looking forward to the stories it has in store for me.
