Last weekend, my husband and i decided to go on a short little trip to the coastline of the Baltic sea and visit Lübeck. We wanted a few days to escape our everyday madness and just relax, to see new places, take long walks on the beach and visit some cozy cafés.
Well, let me tell you Lübeck is one beautiful city! It has a lot of old buildings and very interesting Architecture. Wandering through these old cobbled streets, admiring the beauty of the city and breathing in the vibe of coffee houses and ancient tea trading places... thats my kind of happiness.
All these cute houses with their little white windows and beautiful flowers, old stairs and wooden doors, golden doorknobs and bikes leaning against the wall made me wish that I could live there.
Later that day, I visited a small art gallery called "Ansichtssache"and discovered some beautiful artwork by Volker Derlath and some other talented people. There were shelves full of different postcards, pictures and art prints, I could have spend hours and hours looking at them and i couldn't resist to buy a few little pieces to put on top of my mirror in the hallway. Here you can see how I placed them when I came home.
Right across the street, there was this beautiful café called "Kaffee Haus" which was full of people and looked just way to cozy to not go inside, so we decided to take a little break of our city tour and sit down for a nice cup of chai latte and a piece of cake. Talking about cake, the cake there was out of this world. They had a huge selection of different cakes, each one looking better than the other. We decided for a buttermilk walnut cake and let me tell you, we didn't regret it at all! So yummy and so moist. Amazing.
If you ever get the chance to visit Lübeck, do it! This city is beautiful and has a lot to offer from art galleries to a beautiful park, cute little cafes and old streets full of nice architecture and little tea shops.
After our day in Lübeck, we headed to Fehmarn which is an Island next to Denmark. It has long beaches, little villages and good restaurants that offer fresh fish and other local specialities. You definitely have to visit the restaurant "Aalkate", they serve the freshest fish and delicious soups as well as a great selection of homemade smoked fish. When you are looking for some yummy cakes and good coffee go to the "Café Kontor" in Burg, which offers homemade cakes, made after old collected recipes and good quality coffee or visit "Café im Hof" which offers the biggest cake slices I have ever seen and also a huge variety of different teas.
