Międzyzdroje - Turquoise Lake hike

Yesterday we drove up to Międzyzdroje on the Polish coast. When we had gotten back from Norway we were trying to decide if we wanted to take advantage of first Friday this month (Raymond doesn’t have to work the first Friday. Sometimes he has to finish up a few things in the morning and then we can do something in the afternoon). The original plan was to go down to Harz, but that seemed like a lot so I decided on a more relaxed trip up to the coast. If we don’t feel like doing anything we can always hang out and look at the water which I will happily do all day! We normally come up here a few times a year, but this is the first time we have come back to a town we had been to! We came to this same town last year at this time and I really enjoyed it so I be thought why but come back and explore more? Though we are staying at a different place in downtown which is still really nice and I am sitting here enjoying the water view as I write this! This is definitely one of my favorite spots up here!

So today we had a relaxing morning and then decided to drive over to do the Turquoise lake hike - a hike around the lake that was originally a chalk mine. We started hiking and Raymond was like I thought this was going to be a boring old lake walk, but this is fun! The trail went up and down a bunch of ravines and we also found some ruins of some sort. When we got about halfway around we decided to take a detour out to Lubin to see what we could see and I was glad we did! There was this fun little library made of wood near the church and a viewpoint over a reverse river delta which was fun! And so many birds! We are going to have to come back and go to the next town over and explore the delta more! I didn’t even know it was there!

Then it was back to the car and on to home. The walk was really nice through the woods with all the leaves changing. On the way home we went by this odd little bunker museum which was just a ton of stuff on the side of the road…of course we had to stop and look! It was a pretty nice adventure!Read more
