Watching Ships

During my Time in Brunsbüttel, I lived relatively close to both the Elbe and the NOK. Because of that, I was just sitting out there by the Water pretty much every Evening watching Ships going past. For the most Time, there were not really any huge Ships around, but it was still great. I even… Continue reading Watching Ships

At the Seehundestation

Last Friday was the last Day of my Internship in Brunsbüttel, and it was only a Half-Day. Because of that, I had a bit of Time to spare before I had to pack up and drive back Home. I ended up driving to Friedrichskoog by the Nordsee, where I got half of my Ice Cream… Continue reading At the Seehundestation

It did however take much more Time to go by Ferry then it would have had I just driven straight back. Those Things usually run on… Continue reading Taking Ferries

Another Day in Brunsbüttel

Today, I had originally planned to visit the so called ’Fischmarkt’ here in Brunsbüttel.

But when I was leaving the Area, I noticed that a Guided Tour of the Schleusen was just… Continue reading Another Day in Brunsbüttel

Ships at the NOK

I love Ships. Those Things have always been kinda fascinating to me. And today, I finally got to see quite a few at the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal (NOK) right where it meets the Elbe. None of them were particularly large Boats, but I still liked most of them. But maybe that was also because I had not… Continue reading Ships at the NOK

Today, I then also visited the Locks in Brunsbüttel. It had just rained, and it was looking like more was to come, but I just had to… Continue reading At the NOK
