3rd act ... Forestry

Wotae: 29.08.2018

Wednesday, 28 August 2018 Bad Muskau-Forest
... so early already on the road, that you need light on the bike?

... definitely not! It is simply the identifying feature of e-bikers.

From time to time we catch a glimpse of the Neisse ..

... then the path leads us through lonely forest sections ...

... then the road suddenly ends on the western bank of the Neisse. Where a bridge stood before 1945, there was an impenetrable border to Poland during the time of the GDR - a bridge would have been hindering anyway ...

... from time to time there is a quick encounter with north-southerners ...


... a weir extracts a bit of energy from the Neisse with its meager gradient - the amount of residual water remains at zero until the power plant!

... on the small amount of water at normal level, these two vigorous Bavarians find their way. They spent the night here in the tent - now they also continue in the direction of Forest - a lot of work with so little current.

... countless fruit trees want to be harvested - for many it remains a dream.The little tree groans under its heavy load ...

More ripe splendor would be appropriate ...

Cherry plums ...

Sea buckthorn ...

The path increasingly leads us over the dam crown. Hard to believe that the little Neisse can claim so much space for itself!
At Klein Bademeusel, the east-west axis passes through - that's something ...
I always imagine that a great picture book could be written with Klein Bademeusel ...
... and this is what the way into the village looks like.
... and this was the road that used to lead over the Neisse ...
... and today it ends here.
... a long straight stretch in the heat of summer!
Snapshot from my cockpit glass.
Willful! Rubber ring locks ...
... and a mother who plays trustingly with her daughter underneath ...
We are staying here: Kegel Dam in Forest.
The Brandenburg Textile Museum shows what Forest was until the end of the GDR: a production site for yarn and fabric. With reunification, everything gone! Everything!
Production for the museum: wool ... yarn ... fabric ... all still functional.
The decline of this industry still means a lot of suffering for the Forst region.
