Train pulled out of Schwerin, with the northernmost state of Mecklenburg - Pomerania (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) in Germany. Mecklenburg - Pomerania (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) is Germany's largest agricultural region. Outside the windows are large tracts of yellow flowers, the breeze blowing, rippling into the endless yellow waves? On sunny slopes, yellow flowers have opened, bright golden yellow glow in the sunlight! It seems the air can smell the scent of yellow flowers.

Train traveling all the way to the north, the sky is blue, clouds seems to be in our heads, surrounded by trees, occasionally see small towns, houses with small gardens, like a checkerboard distribution, square. Patches of wildflowers, a desolate scene.

German summer climate is changing too fast. I have the feeling the chill in May. Sometimes the weather is good, the sun is shining. Sometimes gloomy weather, it began to rain. This does not affect my trip. I like to have a taste of local history, marching quartzite streets, ruminate old story, the hearts will be a different kind of sigh. This is me.

When the train pulled in, parked in Wismar railway station, just two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun escaped the thick clouds, revealing glare of the sun. I followed a few tourists leisurely walk through the quaint streets and alleys in the city of Wismar.

Wismar town is too small. The city is only 4 million citizens. Walking in Wismar City, a small alley, that uneven stone on the road, we can feel the history of this city. Wismar Old Town’s streets and city squares, like hundreds of years ago, remains a medieval pattern.

Old Town in Wismar, we wander in the beautifully restored between scattered white houses, as if walking in building the history books: Gothic stepped gable, clear Renaissance lines, as well as Baroque, tedious and decorative silhouetted against each other. Stroking flowing century’s brick, it has not been destroyed by war, also experienced many years of vicissitudes.

 




Tips:

1, do not go out at night in Wismar, not to say security, but here there is a big difference between day and night. In particular, there is a day of sun, and some tourists, the evening becomes a little horror, because too quiet at night, giving the illusion that the scene during the day are not real, but illusion.

2, from Schwerin to Wismar, only 20 minutes by train, and recommend you spend a day travel the two cities. Not recommended to live in Wismar, where it is quiet at night.
