On the North Sea coast from Duhnen to the Kugelbake

Hello!

After arriving safely at the North Sea in Duhnen yesterday, we started today with a leisurely breakfast 🥐🥪☕️

Afterwards, we took a long walk on the beach 🏖 under a clear blue sky and sunshine ☀️.

We started at the beach in Duhnen and walked to the Kugelbake in Cuxhaven.

The Kugelbake is a well-known navigational beacon and landmark of the city of Cuxhaven.

It is located on the busy shipping lane at the mouth of the Elbe River into the North Sea.

From there, we were able to watch some incredibly large ships entering and leaving the Elbe 🛳⛴️🚢.
...  On the way there, we passed the northernmost point of Lower Saxony 🟥🐎🟥 on the mainland and also saw the beginning and end of the Elbe Cycle Path 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️.

This is one of Germany's best-known and most popular long-distance cycle routes, following the Elbe River from its source to its mouth at approximately 1280 meters.

Our dog Eddie 🐶 also had a fantastic time, sniffing and playing to his heart's content on the beach.

Ferry trip from Esbjerg to Fanø

Image
Good morning everyone, On Thursday we had two firsts. Our first time abroad with a motorhome and our first time on a ferry. We were glad we had our #wise card with us. This allowed us to pay with crowns at the barrier upon entering the ferry terminal. Since the motorhome categories only differentiate between under 6 m and under 12 m, our "Patrick" now belongs to the really big category. The receipt also shows the lane we have to get into. We had virtually no waiting time and were able to board the first ferry that had just entered the harbor. After that, Patrick started his first swimming lesson. A little nervous and with shaky knees, he mastered it very well. Now we're off to our campsite, and more later. Best camper greetings from Tabbis Travels

Hangar 19 in Schwerin

Image
Hello everyone, we ended up in Schwerin, the state capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, at the "Hangar 19" camper van park. We were very lucky, booking quite spontaneously during peak season, to get spots for two camper vans right on the water. For larger camper vans, it is advisable to arrive via Walther-Rathenauer Straße. Google Maps directed us through side streets where there was no way to avoid oncoming traffic. The reception was very friendly, and everything was explained to us. There is a small but clean and modern washroom on the site. The size is appropriate for the site, and there are rarely any waits. There is also a great Italian restaurant. With your parking card, you get a 10% discount there. The jetty is also open to campers. There is a pool ladder there that takes you into Lake Schwerin for a swim. We really enjoyed it here and will definitely come back.

Motorhome parking space at Lauenburg Marina

Image
Hello everyone, We've driven through Lauenburg many times, but today we stopped for the first time on our way back from Denmark. The parking space is right on the Elbe-Lübeck Canal. The plots are divided into two levels, so you have a good view of the canal even from the upper level. The pitches are level but quite small. One awning can't be fully opened. Our vehicle is parked right on the edge of the parking space, and on the other side, we're only about 1.5 meters from the edge. The harbormaster runs a small restaurant called "Skippertreff," where you can eat quite well. Behind the restaurant is the washroom with showers and toilets, which you can enter for 50 cents. Showers cost extra. The nearby B209 road and the bridge are very busy during the week starting at 4 a.m. I'm a light sleeper and woke up from the noise. The parking space is fine for one night, though. Today our trip ends and we head home. Best camper greetings Tabbis Travels
