Barmstedt to Osterrönfeld

Barmstedt moving on to Osterrönfeld towards Norway

The American Square Dance Convention EC2026 is over, time to head north towards Denmark and. then on to Norway. First stop on the way Osterrönfeld.

Monday morning we say goodbye to our UK friends and our new German friends, we are heading north through Denmark for a ferry from Hirtshals to Bergen.

We get on our way leaving Barmstedt on A23 past Itzehoe where we take A77 to Hohenwestedt arriving at Osterönnfeld around 12.40. We find the Camperplatz, a three-tiered site overlooking the Kiel canal. We do the automatic checking and find a space on the top tier (all other spaces are taken, there are 32). This is a good space, room with a strip of dried (!!) grass for your awning. We put it out to provide shade from the sun, it is 30°C and have lunch.

We have a quiet afternoon watching the big barges sailing down the Kiel canal, later we find the laundry and do wash one load of washing (with two dries) and hang it to air in Hymer. Later afternoon we sit out and watch the navy-blue clouds moving over with deep rumbles of thunder. A few spots of rain threaten but do not clear the humid air. We do some writing (report of the Barmstedt weekend for the Chain Reaction Square Dance Club Newsletter) and have a late tea of mushroom omelette.

We are ready for an early night; stopping here has been a welcome break after the amount of dancing that we have done over the last few days, an excellent choice with really good facilities.
