That Winter, The Lake Freezes

Another random post and random title that is inspired from Korean drama with similar title - That Winter, The Wind Blows. (well, I know it is NOT similar, but whatever)

Möhnesee, Soest

From the title, I would like to share about small beautiful lake located near Soest, Germany. The lake is called Möhne - or in Germany it's called Möhnesee (see = lake, in Germany) When I visited this lake in February last year, the lake was freeze because it was Winter (obviously) and the weather was as low as -18 degrees. The government also stated that the lake was completely freeze and it was safe for us if we want to ride a bike on the lake. As an Asian who has never seen snow and frozen lake before, I find it was AWESOME. Too bad I could not found bike and tried to ride it ON the lake.


The Frozen Lake

Back to our lake, Mohnesee. It is located apprx. 10 km from Soest and could be reached by bus or private car. 

The location of Mohnesee

For bus, you could take bus R49 from Soest Bahnhof (Soest train station) and stop at the last stop (I forgot the name), but according to bahn.de, the bus stop is Korbecke Seestrasse. The journey will take around 30 minutes and when you have arrived in the bus stop, you have to walk straight for around 15 minutes to finally arrive in Mohnesee. 

On my way to the lake 

You could find a beautiful park with jogging track, houses and restaurant near the lake. I believe if you visit this lake in summer, this place is a great place to visit to spend your weekend. :) 


Since it was a sudden visit, I did not know what kind of activity that I could do nearby the lake except taking pictures of the beautiful view around me! 


Even though I could not find a lot of interesting thing, but I supperrr love this lake. The view is just amazing just like the one that I could only see while watching dramas. And because of my photographer-friend, it felt like my friends and I were making a photo-shoot for pictorial book. Haha 




Our sudden photo-shoot ! 


I hope you love this short random post!

All Around Europe : Local Airports Part I

This post is dedicated to all European budget airlines lovers! Airport - is the important place. This is where our travelling starts and ended. If we could not know where is the airport and how to get to the airport, than our travelling will be a mess. Since I travel a lot with European budget airline,  I have to invest more time to look for the information regarding the airports used in budget airports, especially the location and how to get there (most important!).  Most of the budget airline (esp. Ryan Air) are using local airports which is located far (away) from the city. Beside the location, these local airports also do not have varieties of public transportation access. Therefore, I decided to compile the information regarding these-out-of-nowhere local airports in Europe. I hope it could help all European budget airlines lovers! :) After did some listing, I realised there will be too much information here - that might make you explode. Therefore, I decided to d...
