Two weekends ago, John and I ventured north to the two cities of Lubeck and Travemunde. The city of Lubeck was filled with some amazing old architecture (which is hard to find in the area because much of it was bombed in WWII). The skyline of the city is filled with spires from massive cathedrals and the whole city is surrounded by a moat.
We then went even farther north to the city of Travemunde on the Baltic Sea. In the summer months this beach community is filled with tourists and vacationers. This time of the year though, the Baltic Sea was frozen over, at least a kilometer into the water. It was amazing to explore a new type of landscape, an extreme that neither of us had seen before.
Although we are enjoying Hamburg, it was a nice escape going to a smaller and architecturally rich city and then spending time exploring in the quiet and calm solitude of nature.
Very enclosed streets
Across the water to one of the many cathedrals...this one seemed to be barely standing, many of the buildings seemed to be slumping or leaning in their age.
The gateway into Lubeck
John reaches out to the sea...
These cliffs line the coast. There were pathways along these cliffs allowing one to travel through dense woods and open plains, having an amazing view of the frozen sea the whole way.
The gray of the sky and the large white expanse of the frozen Baltic creates an interesting horizon.
