On Tour again

As I write this, we are sitting in the ICE Sprinter from Berlin to Cologne. After a hearty breakfast, which we were able to enjoy outside on the hotel terrace in early morning...

At some point, the last day of the tour had to come. Today was the day. In perfect weather, we drove from Stettin towards the south to eventually meet the Oderradweg....

After the mandatory part of the journey, now for the enjoyable part. We had finished the Baltic Sea Cycle Route yesterday in Świnoujście. For the remaining two days, we decided...

Today we rode the last stretch of the Baltic Sea Cycle Path. It ends at the German-Polish border near Swinoujscie. It was about 30 km from Zempin. And Usedom is incredibly...

What a stark contrast to yesterday! The only thing that was still exactly the same was the wind. It was still blowing stormily from the west to the southwest. The only...

This day was tough. We knew that we would almost certainly get wet, as a broad rain front was due to move across the country from west to east by midday at the latest. There was...

Today we first drove from Glowe to the Jasmund National Park, where the famous chalk cliffs were our destination. At the Stubbenkammer viewpoint, there is now a new Skywalk. It...

As announced, it poured down this morning. Since improvement was expected, we initially postponed the departure a bit. Around 9 o'clock, we finally put on our rain gear when it...

Today we went over to Rügen. Instead of following the original Baltic Sea cycle path over the Rügen dam, we took the ferry to Altefähr. We had already cycled part of the route...

The colors of the day today were gray and green. The sky was gray and the landscape was green. There were also perhaps a few red spots of color from the various brick buildings....

Almost a perfect day - if it weren't for the incident with the room key. After breakfast, it suddenly couldn't be found. I'll spare you the whole story. In the end, there was a...

Our destination for today was actually Warnemünde. Despite a long search, we were unable to find affordable accommodation there. So we went to Rostock instead. As that was about...

Today I have to start with the weather again. This was probably the hottest day of the entire tour, if the current forecasts are to be believed. For the first time, we started...

Today we experienced the holiday region of the German Baltic coast in all its facets. One seaside resort followed the other. Pure tourism. From the bed and breakfast to endless...

Let's start with the weather again. Today it's pure summer, sun from start to finish, but not too warm with a maximum of 23°C. It can stay like this (but it probably won't). I...

After the violent act of the previous day, we decided to cover a moderate distance today and chose Heiligenhafen as our destination. We also set off a little later. In the...

Our destination for today was actually Kiel. We started relatively early and the sky was grey again. What can you do in weather like this other than drive, drive, drive? So...

So today is the first real stage. The good news is that it stayed dry and the sun even made an appearance during the day. Most of the route did not go along the open Baltic Sea,...

We left this morning at 7:30 punctually. As (almost) always, we went to the main station first. Our ICE to Hamburg was also on time, even though it had already come from Munich....

It starts again in two days. Then we'll be on tour again. This time we have chosen to cycle the Baltic Sea Coastal Cycle Route, the entire length from the Danish to the Polish...
