We spent most of our time in Germany searching for places our family came from. Small towns and smaller churches where great-grandparents^3 or ^4 were married were our main areas of exploration. The German sign guarded the entrance to the Wustrow Peninsula, which has been closed off for many years. The fencing stretched all along the peninsula, even extending a short distance into the Baltic sea.
After that rather bleary sight, it was a relief to explore the church in Rerik; the pictures also don't give a sense of how horribly cold it was. I always love all the little details you can find in churches. For example, delicate carvings on pews, or paintings on the ceilings. I also enjoy stained glass windows, though they are quite hard to get pictures of that look decent (at least with a point-and-shoot camera).
