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.

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…
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…
Today has been such an eventful day. For one, we went to Germany for a day trip. The border is not far away at all from Metz, so of course, we had to take advantage of the possibility to explore Germany a bit. Trier was one of the cities that we really wanted to visit…
Today we are on a day trip to Germany. We left Metz this morning with the destination Trier. On the road, we have made two stops; the first one in Schengen, and then the second stop in Saarburg. This second stop was a bit unplanned, as it was first yesterday evening that we found out…
Good bye Germany for now. We left Lübeck early this morning and headed southwest towards Belgium. Our destination for the night was Hasselt, a small town in northeastern Belgium. But there was one stop to do before crossing the border. That was to stop in the German town Bielefeld to meet up with an old…
Once upon a time, it was the leading city of the Hanseatic League. Today Lübeck is a picturesque town in northern Germany and the first “proper” stop on our road trip to France. I have been to Lübeck once before, I can’t have been more than seven or eight years old, so needless to say: I don’t…
