Did I plan an entire trip through eastern Germany Did I plan an entire trip through eastern Germany after seeing one single Pinterest picture? Yes, yes I did.

Behold the view that made me go to Bremen. From the corner of Wüstestätte and Marterburg you get a gorgeous look at the small, winding streets that lead into the colorful Schnoor neighborhood. Once home to many a medieval fisherman, today it is a touristy place with many pubs, restaurants, souvenir shops and small business selling all kinds of haberdasheries. Efteling vibes, for sure. 

📍 Schnoor Viertel, Bremen, Germany 🇩🇪

Cologne photodump 🇩🇪 This summer I went sol Cologne photodump 🇩🇪

This summer I went solotripping through Germany with their €9 month-long public transport ticket. I've already been told that they will NOT repeat that offer this year 🥲 But I had my fun! First stop: Cologne!

If you saw my stories today then you already know that I lost pretty much all of my photos and videos from that trip. Here's what I could salvage from my DSLR and Lightroom library. More details and pictures are in the "Germany 3" highlight on my profile! 😊

And since I no longer post on my blog, I'm going to post a list of my favorite things here. You can save this post if you want to find it again later! 😌

COLOGNE FAVORITES:
1. Watch the sunset from the Rheinpromenade 
2. Instagram pictures at Fishmarkt
2. Count the Picasso's in Museum Ludwig
3. Lunch/Brunch & shopping in Belgisches Viertel
4. Dinner in Südstadt and @ais.baby for dessert
5. Picknick in the Botanical Garden
6. Coffee at @ernstkaffeeroester & @thecoffeegangkoeln 
8. Pause in the Fort X rose garden
7. Walk around Media-Park and Innerer Grüngürtel for cig city vibes
8. Admire the crane buildings along Im Zollhafen

Urbexing in dad’s tool shed. Because I’m cool and stuff!

Urbexing: “The present participle verb form of urbex. Urbexing is the act of exploring urban areas that are generally off-limits to regular civilians.”
I live on a historical site and it’s full of abandonned houses, has a semi-abandonnend firestation and a abandonned farm. A dream urbex location for many of my fellow local photographers. Since a few months there’s a huge billboard by the farm that says it’s state property and that no one is allowed to “step on these grounds” for both safety and secret state reasons. The state build a fence around it and I have seen a police car check to see if no one was trespassing. So they take the “off-limits to regular civilians” très sérieux. A lot of urbexers have taken on the challenge and climbed over the fences to check out this gem… but I haven’t. I’m too much of a wuss to do real urban exploring so I found a little abandonned spot in my own backyard. Now, you might think this is not illigal. But you are wrong: it’s illegal according to Daddies Law. The tool shed is his man space I guess. But he barely uses it if it’s not to feed the chickens or get the mower. So when he was out walking the dogs, I sneaked in there to snap some of the old stuff. I really like how the one with the candy box turned out! And I love the kind of contraposition of a pretty pot of “summer flower seeds” (Fleurs d’été) in such a dusty old place. 

Are you an Urban Explorer? Or would you dare to do it?

    This is a wonderful post!

    I live in a historical town, and growing up sneaking into places your weren’t allowed to was quite alluring, especially if they were haunted. Oh did we freak ourselves out doing it! So fun!

    Oooh, I love that first picture, very well done – rustic and pretty!

    I most likely wouldn't enter an "illegal" space, simply because I think more of my family than myself. If I got in trouble, that would hurt Jen, I'd miss the pets, etc. Plus I'm a little bit of a chicken as far as the law goes anyway. 😉

    I prefer to get my thrills by doing really crazy stuff like bull riding and hopefully one day jumping from a plane!

    I tend to explore abandoned building, but not if there's a no trespassing sign (um, this miiiight be because some guy threatened that he usually has a shotgun with him. Wyoming takes the Right to Bear Arms very seriously. On the other hand, I've also gotten tours from owners of abandoned sites so…)

    I am, especially in those countries I'm not familiair with in the first place. And I like the contraposition you're talking about as well. It's almost surreal.

    The urban exploring sounds like fun! It would be good to explore places, as long as they weren't sealed off because the buildings were unsafe!

    So that's the name for it? LOL! I actually love discovering old houses and areas like that. Not even for photography's sake, but just for adventure's sake. Although like you, I don't think I could trespass. Too scared of the consequences. 🙂 <3
