This year we travelled to the Baltic coast &amp; the island of R\u00fcgen. After a 3 hour drive north, we crossed the bridge onto the island and a few detours later, arrived at my new home for the week. As soon as I sprung out the car and could smell that fresh sea air, I knew I was somewhere special &#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> I was in Glowe, a small town located at the start of the Schaabe, a natural spit formed by the sea, that  joins the Jasmund and Wittow peninsulas.  On one side there is a 12km long beach and the Baltic sea and on the other side woods and lagoons. Summer had arrived, so the first thing I did was drag my humans to the beach!  I even let them have a beer after &#8211; as a treat! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/barney.wijnen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190601_185846-e1561123837367.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1632\" height=\"1224\" src=\"https:\/\/barney.wijnen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190601_185846-e1561123837367.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-563\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our first adventure was to Putgarten, at the very top of the island, where we walked to Vitt and along the coast to Kap Arkona.  Stunning views &#8211; but unfortunately no dog beach ! Swimming would have to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/barney.wijnen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190602_145841-e1561123816841.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1224\" height=\"1632\" src=\"https:\/\/barney.wijnen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190602_145841-e1561123816841.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"564\" data-link=\"https:\/\/barney.wijnen.co.uk\/20190602_145841\/\" class=\"wp-image-564\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Looking towards Cap Arkona<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/barney.wijnen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190602_151726-1-e1561122244650.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1224\" height=\"1632\" src=\"https:\/\/barney.wijnen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190602_151726-1-e1561122244650.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"583\" data-link=\"https:\/\/barney.wijnen.co.uk\/?attachment_id=583\" class=\"wp-image-583\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day I explored Nationalpark Jasmund.  This was more like it! The walk through the forest was beautiful and I met many 4-legged friends. Once we reached the K\u00f6nigsst\u00fchl  National Park Centre, I led my humans along the coastline towards Vikroriasicht (Victoria view) so they could admire the view and the amazing chalk cliffs.  Of course I got distracted with some wood on the way &#8211; much more interesting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/barney.wijnen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG-20190609-WA0004.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"777\" src=\"https:\/\/barney.wijnen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG-20190609-WA0004.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-581\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/barney.wijnen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG-20190604-WA0007-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"777\" src=\"https:\/\/barney.wijnen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG-20190604-WA0007-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-586\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Look &#8211; I&#8217;ve found a present<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We wandered along the coast to  the Kollicker Bach, a small stream running through the woods to the sea.
