Just for a change we went to a countryside not far away from home and where we’d never been before: Mecklenburg Vorpommern in Germany and Jutland, Denmark.
We visited several nature reserves and national parks; in most places it was very peaceful and quiet, hardly any people. In between the parks enormous wheatfields, cow pastures and a single village.
It was hard though, to find a place to get a cup of coffee (let alone an alcoholic drink ;-), especially in Denmark. Friendly, but somewhat distant people; but then again, we were there for Mother nature!
We were treated with large quantities of butterflies, some dragonflies and a few birds. In Mecklenburg we were glad to see lots of cranes and we had a very good view of a sea-eagle at the Plauer See, always impressive!
We also loved the fascinating skies because of the instable weather; they are so much more interesting than a blue sky ;-).
In Schwerin itself, where we stayed for a week, some bubbleblowers in front of the “Schloss” caught my attention, enjoy the result.
So, all together, an interesting trip!
(if you look carefully, there's always something worth while ;-)
