Jasmund National Park
On arrival at the park we had lunch and walked to the kings seat and victoria seat. Then down the coast. Have you ever walked the cliff tops and it’s like a roller coaster, up, down and round, well combine that with a huge forest to include tree stumps, rocks, wooden staircases and you have a picture of our walk yesterday to Saasnitz!

Schaproder & Hiddensee
We moved to a camp site at Schaproder so that we could get the ferry to Hiddensee. Up & out on a 45 minute ferry ride yesterday morning to the idyllic island of Hiddensee. The only transport here is by cycle, horse & cart or on foot. There are a very limited number of electric vehicles, such as the police & ambulance & postman. We chose to visit on foot, we see more that way! Schaproder Hiddensee

Barhöft Hafen
If we go any further we will be in the water!! A lovely little marina in an old DDR training area now being modernised into a hotel and holiday accommodation with a stellplatz in the National Park (see photo). The journey here was through very narrow roads, cobbled streets but, we came across a Crane centre with cranes feeding in the field. Apparently they put feed out here for them so they don’t go to the farmers fields! After lunch Walked through the woods to an old lo

Barth and Zingst
A short cycle ride from Barth harbour and “Gladys” of 10 minutes took us to the thought provoking fields and monument of the POW Concentration Camp from WW2, Stalag Luft 1. Sad to say but the monument wasn’t the best kept and if it hadn’t been for friends we would have not know about it. A Boulder with a plaque, 4 empty flag poles, a small information board under tree coverage, and long grass, several posts along the lane marking different parts of the camp. Where the main

Laboe and Schönberg
Driving north past Kiel we arrived on the Baltic or Osteee coast. We parked on a big stellplaz just to the rear of the beach. We had a walk on the beach and watched the kite surfers.

We cycled the next day to Schönberg and v

Mölln
Mölln a little town, beautiful rural landscapes and one of the oldest towns in the county of Schleswig Holstein. Also home to Til Eulenspiegel (jester)! An unknown author wrote the book of his life and travels through Germany and elsewhere within Europe, he died in Mölln in 1350 perhaps a victim of the plague. Before he died he promised he would give his wealth to the church if they would give him a worthy send off! So 4 weeks after his death they opened his heavy iron ch
