The radius is expanding – not just geographically, but also in terms of kilometers.

Today I headed to the far northeast of the island! And once again, the weather was absolutely fantastic – I simply have to mention that! I still vividly remember previous Advent calendar challenges with rain, sleet, and perpetual gray skies.

February 12, 2022,Eine Brise Ostsee - zum Kap Arkona 🌞🌊

Already the wonderful sunrise 🌄 this morning promised a wonderful day. So 🥾 laced up and off to Cape Arkona.
The first kilometer of sandy beach then became a stone beach, where I was alone. This provided the opportunity for potential equalization. It's wonderful to feel the cold Baltic Sea, at least with your feet. 🥰❄
Below the cliffs, we …

The sun is shining, so we make our way to Putgarten. First we go to the lighthouses at Cape Arcona. Of course, a detour to the northernmost point of the island should not be missed. The fishing village of Vitt is on our route, so we descend to the lovingly maintained and thatched fishermen's houses. The beach looks a bit …

We continued to Cape Arkona, along dirt roads to Puttgarten. A pretty village where Helene Weigel lived. The bus took us …

With good wind we went from Juljusruh to Cape Arkona. As a hiker you often have to come to terms with the many cyclists on this route. Instead, the café, one of the cosiest and most dreamy spots to rest and dangle your soul, was waiting for you to stop for a break - and it was completely surprising for …

June 5, 2022,Wanderung

Tour from Breege to Vietnam. Route leads on the beach first on sand then later on stones. Sturdy shoes are an advantage. There are a few ways to get off the beach and continue along a coastal path. At the moment there are about 2km from Viet some trees that fell over the beach path due to the storm. So …
