The battleship was great to explore. I booked online, which was cheaper than on site. A lot of information is presented on the ship and you can go basically everything. It can be a bit slippery, especially when climbing down the ladders. I bumped my elbow more than once climbing down. Regretfully the submarine was not open for visitation. I would have loved to visit this one, too.

Nice museum. Could perhaps be better taken care of. Feels as if it has been the same for decades. A lot of climbing and interesting areas one could access, like the engine room. Interesting to see how much people that was involved in pure navigation before the times of GPS and other modern equipment.

It was one of my favourite things to see in Göteborg for sure! Especially the destroyer is impressive to walk through. As it's quite big that will already take a while. Unfortunately, when I was there, I couldn't visit two of the boats. You also can't go into the submarine. But all in all I would def recommend going there :)

Interesting place, although I think the admission is a bit expensive for what it's worth. I really wanted to visit the inside of the submarine, but that's not possible. It's a bit of a rust bucket. The destroyer was nice, the lighthouse ship is under repair and cannot be visited.

Kakesbeck Castle

Kakesbeck is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Münsterland and the oldest castle in Lüdinghausen. The imposingly grown complex originated in 1120 as a motte, a small hilltop tower castle. After numerous changes of ownership, the castle was extended onto two islands, but it was not until the 14th century that it underwent significant alterations and extensions under the von Oer family. The estate experienced its heyday in the middle of the 18th century, when it covered an area of almost one square kilometre and consisted of five further outer castles in addition to the core castle, which were secured by ramparts and moats.

The well-maintained condition of the castle today is thanks to the late Wilfried Grewing, the former lord of the castle. The foundation named after him has been particularly committed to preserving the property since 2020.
