Milestones

Day #10 Sunday, 10th May From Lichtenow to Stańsk Animal sounds accompanied us through the night; in the morning, we wake up refreshed in the sunshine. First, just a little...

Berlin! Berlin!

Day #9 Saturday, 09.05. From Beelitz to Lichtenow We are indeed the early birds, awake before the birds themselves. A driver looks a bit puzzled when he

Blumberger Mill

The weather was so nice today that we postponed our departure by a few more hours. Instead of heading home first thing in the morning, we treated ourselves to two more hours of...

Zehdenick as the Finale – and the next journey is already waiting

But before heading definitively towards the highway and home, we made one last stop – which was almost poetic: The Kloster Zehdenick. A place of tranquility, with a garden that...

Zehdenick to Go – Bricks, Ducks, and Havel Joy

Zehdenick – Duck Alarm, Brick Adventure, and Havel Joy We thought our journey would end in Bernau. Really, it was supposed to. But as is often the case with good trips: you can...

Another bit of travel luck: Bernau!

Bernau for dessert – A charming finale with a bright touch After visiting Spreewald and the Gardens of the World, we should have been satisfied. Should have been. But that’s how...

The Great Leipe Tour

On Tuesday, we paddled the Great Leipe Tour. It covered over 20 km from Lübbenau through Lehde with the open-air museum and Leipe to the Pohlenzschänke and back via the...

No boating weather, no boat trip, plain and simple.

On Monday morning, Sebb was awake early and had already set up the boat, which took Blaubär some time, but this way Ines could sleep in a bit and helped with the final touches...

The Body Flying Center

In mid-May, it was once again time for an outing. First on the agenda was a visit to the Hurricane Factory in Berlin. “Skydiving for the old,” as Ines later called it. The...

Where the prince rests and the soul takes a stroll

Finale with princely flair – Branitzer Castle and Park And since we've apparently developed a fondness for princes with a penchant for garden art, there was one last stop to wrap...

Cristalica: Where Lead Glass Does Not Gather Dust, But Seduces

Day 3 - Cristalica in Döbern – Lead glass is alive. And how! On our way to Cottbus, we made a stop that turned out to be a real insider tip: the glass manufacturer Cristalica. To...

Between the cucumber stand and the carousel – Our visit to the fair in Lübben

Day 2 – Lübben celebrates: Local products, music, and fair atmosphere To end the day, we headed to Lübben, where the big city festival was taking place this weekend – an annual...

A true highlight: The linseed oil mill in Straupitz

Day 2 – Straupitz: Fresh linseed oil and true craftsmanship After the rather disappointing view from the Bismarck Tower in Burg, we continued to Straupitz – and there we were...

Arrived at the top - and yet seen nothing

Day 2 – Bismarck Tower Burg: Much height, little view After our visit in Lehde, we continued to the Bismarck Tower in Burg – one of the few preserved Bismarck towers in...

Spreewald like in the old days – A rewarding trip to Lehde

Day 2 – Spreewald: A memorable day in Lehde Today we went to Lehde – a small place that feels almost like an island. Surrounded by canals, accessible only by boat or narrow...

Lübbenau - between Fließen and Gurkenmeile

In the afternoon, we head to Lübbenau – yes, that’s what you would call the old town, and it is vibrant and inviting. At the harbor lie the traditional Spreewald boats, ready for...

The Slawenburg - a ring of earth and memory

Onward to the Slawenburg Raddusch – a place that surprises us. Rising like something from another era, the reconstructed ring castle made of wood and clay offers an archaeological...

Baroque Gables and Quiet Gardens

We start in Luckau, a small town with charm and history. The old town is like a silent painting – cobblestones, half-timbered houses, and along the city wall small gardens that...

By On-Demand Bus through Ukraine

The on-demand bus 🚌 is right on time and not crowded. I'm actually the only passenger and immediately strike up a conversation with the driver. One must know what to expect.😜 He...

From Liebenberg to the Tornow Mill

from the kebab stand for a phone store, he actually gives me a very satisfactory answer. Zehdenick is richly blessed. There are two of them. But not all days are over yet, or how...

Day 24: Back to Germany

In the Flamingos of the North

Recently, chance led us to Linum. As we drive through the Brandenburg village in Rhinluch north of Berlin, we are amazed by the many parking spots and even more no-parking signs...

GO WEST

A final morning greeting from Turkey! The alarms rang, as agreed, at 7 AM in all rooms. The captain had requested to depart for the airport promptly at 9 AM. Since no one wanted...

Stork Court Blumenow

Today it is just a leisurely 27 km. The weather is being good to me. No wonder. I finished my breakfast down to the last crumb. Unfortunately, however, I am the only guest in...

Schloß Gut Liebenberg-Storchenhof Blumenow

Schloß and Gut Liebenberg. Dreamlike Brandenburg. And that for an affordable €80 with breakfast. Even dinner, which is a buffet today, leaves nothing to be desired. My...

Stendal-Kremmen

it first. The weather couldn't be better. It rained yesterday. A blessing for me, as I get to skip the time-consuming watering in the garden. Yoga, swimming, and breakfast are off...

Departure

On July 29, the day of departure had arrived, and I started my journey to BER Airport at 9 AM. With plenty of time planned before the flight at 4 PM, the drive was quite relaxed...

From Stettin to Schwedt/Oder

Once far, far away please.

February 23´ To get you started, here's an original conversation between Maren and me. Maren: "Oh, I would also like to travel alone or far away, but I just don't dare." Me:...
