Glamping was pretty fun when we did it a few years ago.

Went for a hike this morning near Munising in the Michigan UP. Came across this cool waterfall, and took some pics.

Hiking adjacent - caught this Elk on my game cam I keep on my land. When we aren't staying up there, the nature really comes back out. I'm planning on developing a few hiking trails eventually.

I fucking love this. Thank you for sharing.
I have a lot more of these pictures. One of the ones I posted was actually from a bike ride. The black bike is my 26" singlespeed "MTB". It's been roughly 76 km (~47 miles) that day.
Yo these pics are gorgeous. Where is this at?
The picture with my bike was technically taken in Poland. The rest are all from northeast Germany. The partially collapsed building is known as the colossus of Prora. When I got there I didn't think that I would be able to get in but found a hole in the fence and ended up spending the entire day there. Is there any interest in more of these pictures?

The lighthouse of Hiddensee:

That double fence used to be guarded and was installed in order to keep people from reaching Hiddensee from where they could have tried escaping to Denmark or Sweden.

Nearby bunkers. I'm not 100% sure but I think they were demolished years ago.

I took my gf there twice. She didn't like it. Said it was way too boring. To me it's heaven on earth. The only region I'd rather be is northern Denmark.

I'm still going through my pictures of Prora. In the meantime... Königsstuhl:


I always park my car in Sassnitz and one of the first things that I usually take a picture of is the lighthouse:

Warning

The chalk coast is fully exposed to natural dynamics. Therefore, there is always a risk of cliff collapses.
Especially heavy rainfall, but also the spring thaw cause such break-offs and can make a stay in the area of the steep shore life-threatening.

Nature is unpredictable.

Can confirm:

Been there more than once:

The main attraction. This is the bit that is known as "Königsstuhl":

Lighthouse doing lighthouse things:

The pier is just over one mile long, btw. Roundtrip is at least 14 miles. 16, if I decide to walk all the way to the lighthouse and back.
