Lübeck is located in southeastern Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany, on the banks of the Traveo River, about 65 kilometers from Hamburg, with a population of approximately 223,000. The Old Town sits on an island surrounded by the Traveo, Wackernitz, and Elbe-Lübeck canals, and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. From the 12th to the 16th centuries, it was one of the most important trading centers of the Hanseatic League, connecting Germany, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe via Baltic trade, earning it the title of "Queen of the Hanseatic League." Today, Lübeck retains its complete medieval city layout. The famous Holstentor is a city landmark, and the red-brick St. Marienkirche, the town hall, and numerous alleyways and courtyards together form a typical northern German urban landscape.

Took a break from the bookstore and Muscat’s summer heat to find some quiet trails in Latvia. Ended up in Kuldīga, a small town with a lot of wooden history and very few people, which is exactly my kind of destination.

I spent the day walking along the Venta river and through the old town, logging about 18,200 steps on some very unforgiving cobblestones (my ankles are still protesting). As a history nerd, I appreciated that Kuldīga joined the Hanseatic League back in 1368. You can still see that old, wealthy trading history in the preserved timber buildings, which finally got UNESCO world heritage status in 2023.

They have the Venta Rapid here, which is advertised as the widest natural waterfall in Europe at 250 meters. The catch? It’s less than two meters high. Honestly, calling it a 'waterfall' is a bit of a stretch—it looks more like a very long, wet step. But the trail running alongside the river was peaceful, green, and completely uncrowded, which made up for the lack of dramatic drops.

For anyone interested in the practicalities:
· Bus from Riga: €6.40 (one way, about a 2.5-hour ride).
· Lunch: A plate of local grey peas with bacon and a black coffee at a quiet basement tavern cost me €9.20.
· Sightseeing: €0. Just walking around and enjoying the silence.
