Some people find Poel boring. I find the island very soothing. It invites you to dream, to enjoy, to relax. One of my favorite places.

recidivism Unfortunately, the beautiful Cafe Frida no longer exists. But I discovered a new gallery cafe in Kirchdorf. Bundt cake with eggnog 🥲
Of course, swimming in the Baltic Sea was also a must.
The small steep coast between Timmendorf and the nature reserve is always fascinating.
A wonderful day!

Don't know why, but when cycling, Koomot doubles the altitude 🤔. Otherwise a very nice tour around the island with plenty of places to stop for refreshments 🍻🥩🦐🦑🍦🤠

The bike tour 🚲 leads from Wismar via the island of Poel and back again.
Passing the industrial district and the wood processing, it goes first to Redentin. There you can see the concrete ship 🚢 lying.
From there it goes along the main road (on a new bike path) to Poel. Via Kirchdorf, where there is a nice bench …

Very nice tour from Wismar to the island of Poel. It's true, the outskirts of Wismar aren't that beautiful. But we quickly reach the open countryside. Large corn and rapeseed fields, later salt marshes with surprisingly many horses on them. Finally, we cross the bridge and are on the island.
