Moselle town Bullay: A gateway to Eifel and Hunsrück

4. October 202112. October 2021 Mia Jaap 2 Comments moselle

For many tourists, Bullay serves merely as a place to start their trips to other parts of the area. I decided to stay in Bullay for a bit instead of immediately going to the next destination.

Alf, the town: The Moselle town that’s not alien at all

2. October 202112. October 2021 Mia Jaap 2 Comments alf, moselle

Alf belongs to a group of places that gained unexpected popularity by its name alone. The Moselle town predates a certain U.S. sitcom by quite a few centuries though.

Kiel – Snow & Christmas Market

21. December 201012. October 2021 Mia Jaap 0 Comments christmas, christmas market, kiel

All of Germany is covered in snow which includes Kiel, the capital of the furthest north German state Schleswig-Holstein. Kiel is not the most exciting city in the north and Lübeck is undoubtedly more popular with tourists. But I had more than one reason to go there.

Day trip to Hamelin (Hameln)

20. December 20092. November 2021 Mia Jaap 0 Comments christmas, hamelin, winter

Hamelin was for a long time on my list for potential day trips from Hamburg, so today I could scratch that town off my list. The town is of course famous for the tale of the Pied Piper who can be found at various places in the city.

Somewhere in between: Neumünster

9. April 200912. October 2021 Mia Jaap 0 Comments neumunster

If you travel from Hamburg to Kiel by regional express, the train will surely stop in Neumunster. This is definitely not a tourist destination, but since I passed the city so many times I wondered how it looked like.

Kiel – Not quite a leisure trip

9. April 200924. May 2022 Mia Jaap 0 Comments elmshorn, kiel

Time for another trip to Kiel! Okay, this is not exactly one of my favorite cities nor is it one of the cities I dislike most. Although this wasn’t a leisure trip everything went well.

Going Underground in Saarbrücken

3. October 200817. November 2021 Mia Jaap 0 Comments saarbrucken

I finally arrived at Saarbrücken or rather Saarbrücken Ost which is one station before the central station. The station is run down and can be quite scary at night, but my cheap hotel was nearby.
