We arrived in the German city of Stade yesterday and spent the night in a room we found via Airbnb. Stade was early on our list due to its history as a part of the Hanseatic League. Actually, we left Germany today. We are on our way back home to Sweden after a great road…
On day 18 of our road trip, we continued on our way back towards Sweden today after our stop last night in Quedlinburg. Our destination for the day was Stade in northern Germany and that is where we now are spending the night. On our way here we made one stop quite close to Quedlinburg, in the…
We arrived in Quedlinburg yesterday evening. This is when we noticed that we had booked a really large apartment for the night, what a nice surprise! It might actually be larger than our apartment at home. It also took us a long time to realize that we are now in a part of Germany that was…
This morning we left Lahnstein to continue north, back towards Sweden. We first made a short stop for breakfast at Marksburg Castle, then it was a long drive north towards our stop for the night – Quedlinburg. There are three towns in this area of Germany that we want to visit. These are Quedlinburg, Wernigerode,…
Only a 10 minutes drive from where we were staying last night, in Lahnstein, there is quite an impressive castle. Overlooking the town of Braubach is the Marksburg Castle, one of the very few castles along the Rhine river that was never destroyed. Marksburg Castle: The Only One Remaining There are so many castles along…
It is now 17 days since we left Sweden. 17 days we have been on the road. We are currently packing our things again here in Lahnstein to continue north. But I wanted to get to know the town where we are staying and went on a morning walk here in Lahnstein. Unfortunately, we did…
We are on our way back towards Sweden and have spent the night in Lahnstein. It is a small town outside of Koblenz. Right now I’m enjoying my morning coffee, while Jesper is taking a morning walk. It feels like a good time to write more about yesterday. Yesterday morning we left Saarburg quite early and headed…
We left Saarburg this morning and continued north on our way back home to Sweden. Our trip started 16 days ago when we left Vagnhärad. We have seen several amazing places since in six countries and we still have a few days to go before the end of this road trip. Today we made sure to…
There are few places we return to, now we’re in one of them. We left Metz yesterday morning and returned to Saarburg yesterday in the afternoon. We visited the town earlier during our road trip and really liked it. During our visit, we also found out that there would be a wine fest this weekend – the…
After leaving Metz this morning we have had time to see a few things. First, we made one last stop in France at Malbrouck Castle and then we continued to enjoy the view at Saarschleife. This might have been a short stop, but the view is something that will stay with us. Saarschleife: Two Ways to…
We left Metz this morning, one day earlier than we first had planned. The reason we decided to move on earlier is that we wanted to revisit one of our favorite towns so far on our road trip – Saarburg. But we did plan two stops along the route, first one being the Malbrouck Castle just south…
After our two earlier stops yesterday at Fort Casso and in Bitche we continued to our main destination for the day. It had taken a bit longer than we first had planned to reach the German city of Saarbrücken, but we finally arrived in the Capital of Saarland. Saarbrücken: The Capital of Saarland The German…
