A weekend in Kiel is too short to see everything. We made a list of places that we really wanted to see on our first visit to Kiel. But we also reserved some time to just be and enjoy the view of the Firth of Kiel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
We had originally picked this weekend in September for our Kiel trip because of the \u201cKiel Lauf 2017\u201d (Kiel Run 2017) that was taking place. We wanted to participate and see a new city from a completely different angle. Unfortunately, I had injured myself about three weeks prior to the trip and the day before we departed a fatigue fracture in my foot was diagnosed. That turned all of our plans upside down. We have never done a city trip on crutches before. We usually walk a lot but this time we needed a car and finding car parks in a comfortable walking distance to our destination became our focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regardless of the new challenges, we enjoyed our trip. Even without taking part in the run. We\u2019ll come back for that next year. We did take part in some sports, but only as spectators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We parked our car in a car park close to the central station. This is where the H\u00f6rn is \u2013 the upper tip of the port in Kiel and the most southern bit of the Firth. And right there, a dragon boat race was taking place. On Friday it was the student\u2019s turn and we spent the Saturday watching the Fun-Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
