Our journey - a photo story

Directly outside of Spreenhagen there was some old and decomposing east german structure - there probably once was a factory or military area of some kind. It looked like some kind of control post. An old turnpike was alongside the road, too.

About a kilometer down the road we turned into the woods following a small forestry path. It was a hot and sunny day, so we enjoyed the shades.

Along the path we were bugged by vicious (and quite tough!) botflies (or whatever they were). I'm still itchy all over my arms. Blood sucking monsters!

There were raised hides all along the path.

The X marks the spot! We instantly started looking for K, C and D - but to no avail.

Eik at the Hash. There it is! Can you see it?

Thilo at the hash (no place to put the camera for a timed photo, so we took turns on the camera).

A little north we hit a small side canal of the Spree. The white spots on the water turned out to be a family of swans. No botflies there. Nice place for a picknick. Unfortunately because of the canal's steep banks there was no chance to jump into the water. It was very clean; we spotted fishes and a small water snake.

Standard Berlin geek picknick set.
