Portus sanctae Mariae

[mothwing]

Today, Crocky and I had a look at the ruin of the medieval Cistercian abbey in Hude (German Wiki here). In spite of the already rather frosty temperatures it was a lovely walk. We had a look at museum, ruins, nearby hamlet, and a mill and then went home before our feet froze even further. 





Tiny hamlet next to former abbey.

You take gorgeous photos! The ruins are very interesting and atmospheric, and even if it was a bit cold, it looks like you had a great day for looking around. Thanks for sharing your pictures! :D

Thanks! :) The ruins were lovely, and they also had a museum providing some background information about the former abbeys inhabitants and local discoveries made when they first "rediscovered" the abbey and rummaged around in the area.

Wow, these are utterly gorgeous. The color and the composition just make me feel as if I'm there. Thanks!
