It feels like it's been 30 years since I've been to Aurich.

Shopping malls in every direction, everything has changed.

We enjoyed the last day.

Tomorrow we'll start our journey home.

No, I didn't find Aurich scary at all 😀.

For me, the most beautiful building in Aurich is the Marstall (stables) in the castle district (built in 1588, upper floor remodeled in 1730). Today, the castle and stables house a number of government offices.

We specifically looked for accommodation in the middle between Emden and Aurich. And of course we had both cities on our agenda.
Emden has clear advantages with its location and large harbor. But we really liked the city center of Aurich.

Aurich has a beautiful old town, where the historic Aurich Castle and the town church of St. Nicolai stand out. A tour takes you through picturesque streets such as Janssenstrasse and the market square, where many historic buildings can be found.

Today I spontaneously went into town, actually just to buy some shoes because my two favorite pairs are slowly falling apart and one of them is already leaking water. As soon as I arrived, I headed toward the cemetery because I wanted to see what the grave of a former classmate looked like. Only when I looked did I realize …

After we had made our hiking tour in the moor forest, we wanted to explore a little more Aurich and have coffee and cake.

Tonight I'm in Aurich for my 💯 birthday. Since I've never been there before, we went on a nice exploration tour with Komot. A truly beautiful, tranquil town with a welcoming city center. We had to take a break at the harbor after the strenuous tour 😂 and enjoy an Aperol. With this amazing weather, it feels like a vacation …
