Since the oracle on the smartphone promised nice weather, we went to the train station and to the sea. It was worth it! Rostock is worth a visit. A very beautiful, well-preserved and restored old town with many historical places and the harbor. As a university town, there is also a lot of young life here. PS: If you want …

We are happily back home from our holiday on Rügen. As planned, we made a stopover in Rostock on the way back, so the journey doesn't seem so long. Rostock is a very interesting city worth seeing. A lot has changed here for the better in recent years. I took photos on every corner, but only uploaded a very small …

The next stop on our trip was the Hanseatic city of Rostock:
The picturesque old town with its many colorful houses full of detail, huge Gothic brick churches and the harbor made our visit there varied.
It was worth it 👍🏻

Did a tour of Rostock under a blue sky despite the cold and looked at the most interesting sights. Unfortunately almost all churches were closed.
I parked in the Contiparkhaus at Kröpeliner Tor. From there to the fountain of joie de vivre, which is in front of the imposing university building. Continue to the Michaelskloster, the Estates House, the Steintor …

Today we took a look at Rostock.
Although we've been here many times, we haven't been to Rostock yet.
It actually has a beautiful old town and a nice shopping street.
Unfortunately, there was a large construction site at the harbor.
All in all, 👍🏻 very nice 🚴🌞.

My little tour of Rostock's old town begins at the stone gate from the 16th century. There is something worth seeing almost everywhere: pretty gabled houses on the New Market, the imposing Marienkirche, the old university and the neighboring monastery of the Holy Cross, which today houses the Cultural History Museum with an exhibition on the history of the city …
