| A corner of the town square in Wismar |
We had heard and read that a
visit to Wisner was a must, and found online a Stellplatz that was right in the
centre of town, 5 minutes walk from the harbour and not much more to the centre
of town so headed off this morning for the 25 minute drive. Found the
Stellplatz without too many issues and found a good spot in this busy place,
only 10 Euro a night.
Put our walking shoes on and
headed into town late morning and walked around in awe at the wonderful
buildings. Wismar is a Hanseatic town developed in the 14th century
and the whole 76 hectares of the ancient town centre is preserved and was
listed in 2002 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To walk the cobbled streets and
lanes and feel the history is amazing. I only took my small camera with me and
it was kept busy as around every corner there was a different view. We are
going to stay here a few days so will take my bigger camera into town tomorrow
as we really only saw a part of the town. Lots of photos of the town on today’s
blog which I suspect was extra busy being a public holiday.
The huge town square is pretty
impressive and is surrounded with outdoor seating and cafes, so we sat in the
sun and enjoyed a lunch and a cold beer and watched the people. Met up and had
a long chat with an Australian couple, Marg and David Anderson, ex dairy farmers
from the Gold Coast in Australia. Your ears prick up when you hear English being
spoken. They have a rental car and are driving around Germany for 3 weeks.
Just meandered the streets and
continued back down to the harbour and had a coffee and watched the crowds,
before walking down on the wharf where a carnival was on! It’s been another
wonderful day. Tonight the Stellplatz is pretty full and we are surrounded by
lots of motorhomes.
