Elsterbecken

There is a great advantage to getting up early on a Sunday morning with the sun slowly rising over the horizon. Everything looks awesome.

Sassnitz - A Day in Sassnitz

After much venturing and trekking and general doing stuff the last day was spent in Sassnitz, wandering the streets to see what could be found...

Sassnitz - Schooners and Sailboats

On Day Three we went back to the Königsstuhl, by bus, and found out one had to pay eight Euros to enter the visitor center and see the view from the top of the 118 metre high chalk cliff. So we contented ourselves with a wander on the beach. Then back to Sassnitz and a wander around the harbour to the breakwater lighthouse which guards the harbour entrance as the sun was setting.
