Today we had a great day trip by bike along the Stör Canal to Schwerin. Schwerin is really worth a trip. A beautiful old town and a very pleasant atmosphere.

Today was the first time I went cycling in Schwerin. The absolute highlight was Schwerin Castle. Anyone who visits Mecklenburg-Vorpommern should definitely visit this building. Now I hope that the weather gets better so that you can really enjoy cycling again. 🚲🏞️
