November 30, 2024,30.11.2024 🌅 Hiddensee 🏖️ der Norden🗼

Today I had to get up early 🛌 again so I could take the first ferry 🚢 (€22.80 round trip + €1.50 tourist tax, 🅿️ directly at the harbor, €5/day) ) from Schaprode to Kloster.
But the sunrise 🌅 made up for the lack of sleep 💤.
After a good hour's drive 🚢, we arrived in Kloster. From here, we …

May 6, 2025,Kloster - Alter Bessin -Enddorn - Leuchtturm - Kloster

After a delicious lunch at the Hotel Hitthim, we headed toward Grieben – our destination: the viewpoint at the tip of the Alte Bessin.
At the entrance to the headland, a sign warned: Pastureland, enter at your own risk. And yes, we encountered three "pasture pigs" and a really large fox – wild, but peaceful!
The Enddorn, with its stunning …

June 20, 2024,Hiddensee: 🥾 im Norden der Insel

To the south comes the north! We took the earliest ferry at 6 a.m. to Vitte and started our tour from there. 🥾 First we went via the village of Grieben in the direction of Altbessin, a headland that grows by around 30 m every year due to sediment erosion. 😮 There is a bird watching house at its southern …

A leisurely tour of the small neighboring island with high fog in the morning, bright sunshine during the day and a beautiful sunset in the evening! What more could you want to start the autumn?!😎

May 15, 2024,Gerhart Hauptmann Haus und Lietzenburg in Kloster und der Enddorn in Grieben

Today's program was culture and nature.
It began with a tour of the Gerhart Hauptmann House in Kloster.
Continue by bike to Enddorn in Grieben. There, a hike on the Alt-Bessin in the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park. The fauna and flora there in May are a delight. A detour to the Altdorn Cliff is also worthwhile.
Back by bike to …

December 31, 2022,Kloster - Altbessin, einfach nur des Weges wegen... ;-)

Foggy and partly drizzle, so a path without major sights, just alone with nature to breathe deeply, few hikers and wide views...
