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 : Trains in Germany

Back to All Around Europe series! For today's post, I would like to share the information about the train in Germany as train is one of the main public transportation in Germany and it is always essential for us, travelers to know the transportation systems in our destination country. Driven from my experiences, I got confused about the types of trains in Germany because there are many types of train in Germany and I did not know what are the differences between each of them. Therefore, I hope this post could help you to get to know the types of trains in Germany! The Hohenzollen bridge, Cologne, Germany. ICE (Inter-City Express) The fastest train in town - with top speed up to 300 km/h!  You could choose this train for a long journey travelling because it is very comfortable (especially 1. class) and the train only stops in the main train station. With a great service, no wonder if you have to pay more for ICE tickets compared with other train types. Howev...

Hostel Review : Camping Village Jolly

In June, I am planning to write a lot about my journey to Italy which was . . . exactly a year ago. So, as a starting post, I would like to share a hostel review of Camping Village Jolly . :)  Camping Village Jolly is a backpacker "home" for those travelling to Venice. It is located in the mainland and it takes around 15 minutes long journey from the nearest bus stop to Venice.  Camping Jolly to Venice on google maps The nearest bus stop is 15 minutes away from the Village, but if you are too tired to walk, Camping Village Jolly provides shuttle bus service. You have to check the shuttle schedule once you land your feet in Camping Village Jolly and book it right away - because it is limited! Also, you have to spend your Euro if you want to use the shuttle bus service. I forgot how much it is, but it should cost less than 5 Euros. :)  Note from me: if you take the night shuttle service, the bus stops in Tronchento and you could not go there without using...

All Around Europe : Döner

My all-time-favorite food in Europe :  Döner ! The appetizing Doner Teller mit Pommes! It feels funny to say that Doner is my favorite food while in Europe. Some of you might thing "WHAT?" or "HOW COME?" or maybe "She has a weird taste." Well, you are right. There are LOTS of delicious foods here - so many cheese, bacons, sausages - but despite all of those MANY delicious European foods - I choose  Döner ! Why I choose  Döner ? There are certain reasons for that. 1. It's cheap!  The most common reason. Hahaha. It is the cheapest food - in the whole Europe. (Maybe to be exact, in all European countries I've visited) Usually, by spending 2 - 5 Euros you have already got a tasty Döner  Even, in Vienna, I found the cheapest Döner ever - it's only 1.50 Euros and tasted GREAT! 2. It is BIG. Well, for me - as an Asian. One portion of Döner is equal to 2 normal meals. In the early week, I couldn't eat the whole Döner a...
