Former Kolonnenweg (patrol road) in Biosphärenreservat Schaalsee

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Here was the former column route of the former GDR border fortifications. Much of it, however, (luckily) can no longer be found.

Viewpoint at Lankower Seeufer Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

During the time when there are no leaves, the view is certainly better, but it is very good to relax, provided you don't use the dilapidated pavilion.

May 15, 2024,Lankower See - Runde von Mustin

A sunny, warm day and masses of mosquitoes... Beautiful nature trails and finally 1.5km along the road on a paved path... (so walk in the opposite direction).
Finally, cake and coffee in the Dielenkaffee Kittlitz.
A great day, although not recommended when the mosquito population is as high as in May 2024.😂

Today we went to the Lankower See in the best sunshine.
I started on an old GDR border strip, but it was getting narrower and more and more overgrown 🌳🐿️.

I have to say the first 6 km were almost only trails 🥾 and not a soul to be seen far and wide. Much more nature was almost impossible.
