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!
