April 7, 2023,Warnemünde - Nienhagen - Gespensternwald 👻 - Heiligendamm ⛅️🌧️

Started the day with energy and sunshine. Despite the poor weather forecast, it was still very nice in the morning. So I rented an e-bike and then we started along the coast to Heiligendamm. I was able to wallow in holiday memories. The bike path doesn't actually go right there. This tour is more for walkers, at least until Nienhagen. …

The bike tour today was bombastic. Everything was just right - the weather was sunny, the air temperature at 12 ... 14 degrees was ideal for the tour and the nature was breathtaking. I wouldn't want to miss the holiday week in Kuehlungsborn!
Highly recommended!

With rented bikes we went along the water towards Warnemünde. Then towards the evening in total darkness we returned to Kühlungsborn with only our bike lights.

We drove by car to Hohe Düne and could park there for free! Took the ferry across to Warnemünde... it was very crowded there... just drove through! Continued through the forest always along the cliff with beautiful views in between! A section was closed... due to risk of collapse... but we drove through anyway... many others too! On the way …
