Now it’s undeniable—the dark winter times are coming. Since I hike and photograph, I experienced a change in mindset when looking at the weather: Through the lens every kind of weather is beautiful and has it’s charming parts. Very bright sunshine can eliminate all shadows and makes landscapes flat and boring, while raindrops on the lens can serve as an unpredictable but beautiful filter. Everything depends on the photographers point of view.
The body has to be prepared as well. As my Grandma said: There is no bad weather, just bad clothes.
Lenné-Park Blumberg
Trough the forest to Biesow
Krugers Forsthaus
In Biesow, a very small parish in the middle of the forest, we witnessed a hunting party. Peter Kruger, the owner of the Krugers Forsthaus (forester’s lodge), was very kind to show us around in his wonderful and sensibly renovated home, which serves as a location for trainings, hunting parties and similar purposes today. In summer you can even sleep outside on an attic under the starry sky. It is so beautiful, I will definitively keep this in mind for the next occasion.

“There is no bad weather, just bad clothes.” I really love this sentiment! It’s so true! When you have the right clothing, you can be happy in any kind of weather. I used to do salmon spawning surveys and tide pool research in the pouring rain, but with layers and high quality rain gear, I was happy to be out there.
I have also noticed how alive everything seems to look just before and during a storm or with clouds overhead. The sun does sort of make everything flat. Great post and pics! Thanks for sharing!

In fact this saying was not originally created by my grandma, every german parent tells it to their children when they complain to have to go outside 🙂

Yes it was. I hike around Berlin for a long time now and this landscape was really exceptional.

I was wondering if it’s possible to do this tour by using public transportation? Where would be the nearest train station or something coming from Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg? I would like to do this route on Sunday. Do we need a map or could I find it on komoot? (Sorry, if these are stupid questions I am new to the website) 🙂

I’m afraid you can’t, but I’m not very good in public transport. Here is the google-maps spot: http://bit.ly/2n6uNNg and here the BVG Map: http://bit.ly/2Bp0s1q
I have no clue what those grey lines mean. Hope I was able to help somehow.

And not to forget: The Lenné-Park is not next to Biesow or Steinbeck. We went from there to Steinbeck by car. In fact this are two hikes 🙂
