Leaving the Rhine River, I could have stopped in Hamburg — but carried on another 45 min. by train to the popular tourist town of Lübeck.

Campground wouldn’t have me. But the huge official youth hostel had plenty of space.

I’ve cycled dozens of German cities. This one is different. So many odd streets. Odd bridges.

Everyone likes Lübeck.

Lübeck’s historic old town, located on a densely built-up island, is Germany’s most extensive UNESCO World Heritage Site.

With 6 church towers surpassing 100 metres (330 ft), Lübeck is the city with the highest number of tall church towers worldwide.

What jumped out at me on this day of July is how many CHERRIES were available. Everywhere.
