Can't resist another visit to the sea on a glorious sunny morning. We stop to enjoy a final treat for lunch then drive to Lubeck for a look.
We park the van and take our bikes into town for a wander. What a gorgeous town.
In the Schleswig-Holstein region of Northern Germany, it is one of the major ports of Germany. For several centuries it was the "capital" of the Hanseatic League ("Queen of the Hanse"). Because of its extensive Brick Gothicarchitecture, it is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The old salt lofts, town gate, churches and town hall are pretty impressive. Again piles of history here including a naval tragedy the day after allied liberation on 2 May 1945. The RAF sank three ships in the harbour which unbeknownst to them contained inmates from concentration camps. 7,000 were killed that day.
Than we drive to the beach area of Travemund not far from the city. This is gorgeous as well. A port, seaside resort, open sea beach and a quaint village atmosphere. We stay for free in a local car park.
