And where do you get it? Maybe in Glückstadt? Well, we'll see.😅

Unfortunately, I bruised my ribs in an unfortunate fall just before Christmas, yes, that's really painful. But things are slowly getting better, so our first hike in 2025 was to Glückstadt.

Glückstadt 🍀 is always worth a hike, whatever the season.

Unfortunately, my second hike in Schleswig-Holstein was covered in fog, so there was not much to see. However, the paths along the canal were lined with beautiful little houses, where you can imagine enjoying your morning coffee in the front garden. Otherwise, it was a relaxing walk that you can happily repeat when the weather is better.

June 25, 2024,Malerisch & Maritim: Glückstadt an der Elbe ⚓🚢🌷

[Round from R Glückstadt]

Picturesque. Dreamy alleys. Maritime charm. Lovingly designed, with attention to detail and richly planted. Cute half-timbered splendor in the old town. Idyllic canals. Dreaming of traveling far away with wonderful views over the expanse of the Elbe... Ah!

That's Glückstadt!
Slowed down - Nordic ("Midday table" 😍) - Surprisingly beautiful.

I'm in love! 😊
