- On day five we said goodbye to Ruegen island and hit the road once again stopping first at Stralsund. This Hanseatic city is steeped with history and is a UNESCO heritage site because its roads and city grid have remained the same over the years. With just a few hours to explore we got to see some of the impressive brick architecture, visit a fascinating museum dedicated to German playing cards and eat a Bismarck Herring sandwich for lunch. We left wishing we had a few more days instead of hours to linger.

Our final stop for the day, after being on the road for a while, was at Freilichtmuseum Klockenhagen. This open-air museum featured farm animals, theme rooms and rustic collection of artifacts. Our favorite activity was testing out the old bicycles including a Penny Farthing.
Stralsund City Tour, Germany Travel Video Transcript:
So this morning we're going to be visiting the city of Stralsund which is known for its red brick buildings. Apparently, the city dates back to medieval times and it is considered a UNESCO world heritage site because a lot of the roads are still exactly the same as what they were hundreds of years ago. So we're going to take a walking tour of the city and it should be lots of fun.
The city of Stralsund was founded back in 1234 and it was a Hanseatic city that conducted trade in the Baltic Sea. During our walking tour we learned a few interesting facts including that Stralsund was once a huge producer or playing cards. That they have one of the best examples Gothic red brick architecture and that they made one delicious Bismarck Herring sandwich.
Okay, so you seem to have found some food. What are you having? I sure have. I've found something called Bismarck Herring and it is the form of a sandwich. And it is one of the most famous things here you can have in Stralsund. So I'm going to take a bite of this. I'm really excited.
That is such a juicy and it is kind of almost a bit sour kind of fish. It is quite tasty. I like it.
So I'd like to point out that many celebrities, presidents and even royals have eaten at this restaurant including the one and only George Bush.
Half a day was not enough to do this city justice but hopefully these clips help capture the feel of the place.
Okay, so this afternoon we are visiting a place called Freilichtmuseum Klockenhagen. And it is basically an outdoor open-air museum where we can see what life was like a few centuries ago. So it is a cute little village. There is some farms and farm animals just roaming around so I think we're going to take a walk through, see what we find, maybe visit a few of the different workshops that they have here. And yeah, just have a good afternoon.
So it looks like someone found themselves a new job. Who wants to be a travel blogger when you can drive a tractor like this.
Something interesting we've been doing on the property here is they have these different theme rooms. We've checked out a classroom and over here we have different kinds of old old farming equipment. Check it out.
So this reminds me of bingo. You know how you have to roll the little thing and pick out the number. But according to this little sign here this machine was used for sorting potatoes depending on their size. Bingo, potatoes same thing you know.
It looks like we've found something a little more manageable. What have you got there? That's kind of a rattling old thing. How does it compare to a normal bike? Ah, it sounds very rusty. Is it like unstable? It is easier than the penny farthing I couldn't get on.
Ready? So this lovely little throne is called a Strandkorb and basically it is a beach chair. So here up at the Baltic Sea it is kind of windy even in the summertime so people need a little bit of protection so they can enjoy their holiday and maybe tan without getting too cold. So yeah, these little baskets are pretty cool. And you can pull this out so you have a place where to rest your feet.
And they also have a fancy little shelf so you can enjoy a glass of cold beer.
I'm adding this to my resume.

+Amon Kartoffel Very cool! We really enjoyed our time there :)
Samuel & Audrey Glad you enjoyed it 😇
Knuddlige Kartoffel my too:)
u guys are doing great..travelling to some offbeat and really interesting places and touching bases with
cultural aspects of each place and this makes me want to join u one day if i could and if u dont mind ..lol
Ritankar Sasmal Thanks! We really enjoy doing what we do :)
We used to go on vacation to Stralsund my family and a whole bus tour of people. We would sleep in sleeping bags in a local school gym. When you go to the beach you have that constant cold wind blowing and you need to bring these barriers with sticks in it and put it around your blanket otherwise you freeze. The food there wasn’t that great except for the fish. I met my first love there. He was an electrician on the big boats at the seaport.
I was only 14 🤦♀️. He was supposed to come and visit me in Prague, but me and my mom emigrated to USA unexpectedly. I have been living here since 1969.
I remember the guy was mad at me for leaving like i had a say in it lol. He wrote me a letter and in it was very mad. I didn’t even speak German and my dad had to translate everything. Not sure how we would have even communicated if he came. I guess those hormones don’t need to speak the language. 😂
Awesome video once again. Totally wouldn't have rode that gigantic bike either. Ha
Monica Gonzales Thanks! LOL, we noticed someone else doing it and they had two other adults supporting them from the side.
I'm from Belarus and when me was 10, im was in it country and in it city)))Sad that im don't know before English so good....I'm was know only Belarusian and Russian, now me 14
That is cool to hear! Hope you can revisit again soon.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos thank you^^
Bush doesn't go with that beautiful and charming place. I wonder if the chair is near to the bikes, Idk but I won't trust, maybe there's where ppl sit to watch how others getting hurt when they are trying to ride them. and Samuel, are you sure about the sandwich? :/ . Once again, a great vid.
scca1408 Thanks! Yeah, that sandwich was actually really good but I was just full from breakfast so maybe it didn't look like I was enjoying it that much ;) Agree with you about Bush! Good riddance ;)
I'm sorry for the question but how do you have so much time and money to travel around the world and see so many places? What do you work?
stefan We used to work as English teachers but now we do blogging and freelance online projects to fund our travels. We spend way too much time glued to our computer screens than we'd like to admit ;)
The south has amazing architecture with towns like nuremberg, ulm, bamberg, erfurt, etc. But the north coast of Germany is cool because it is nothing you expect of Germany.
how long u guys will stay in germany? :o
A very curious and melodramatic way of elucidating how the British refer to Hochräder as Pennyfarthings! Raising and then looking down the nose (3:38) is a common way of showing contempt, and perhaps is Audrey's parody of the British and how she sees them as pompous.
Not good...
GEORGE BUSH? - excuse me while I empty my barf bag......:-)......place does look nice though...:-)
Ledzz Go Even though the sandwich tasted great I almost regurgitated it back out after viewing that picture ;)
figures....:-)
Ledzz Go Dubya, does that to a person ;)
А вы случайно не знаете русский ?
Sweden wants Stralsund back. Stralsund är vårt!

Stralsund and Wismar are german now. Try to invade us! We'll kick your Gustav Adolf out of our towns :D
I was born there
+Ultrajez l DragonBall And Naruto That's cool!

Bush better stayed at home!! Warmonger!! But Obama is not better!! Friendly Americans as you both are always welcome!!
