He already lived here last year, but he supposably didn’t understand the squirrel-feeder. Now I caught him finally getting it. Awe, he’s cute!

I have this idea in mind that while hiking I can get rid of some mind-bullshit and fill the empty spots with fresh and of course brilliant thoughts.

Berlin Day Hike: A Magical Landscape Shaped By Beavers
When we hiked around Buckow last week, we met a couple that told us about a huge dam build by beavers on the other side of the town. I was quite curious to see it and so I followed his description “at the end of the village direction Strausberg along Sophienfließ. In fact, it was not one dam but at least ten of them embedded in a magical, shire-like and blooming landscape where the sunlight falling through the trees is caught in the creek and the birds are singing as if there was a competition to win.

Berlin Day Hike: Buckow, Brecht, Beavers And Big Birds
We started and ended our hike in Buckow and had a quite relaxing day around the picturesque capital of Märkische Schweiz. I saw the Brecht-Weigel-Haus for the first time and it’s still more beautiful than on all the pictures I saw before. Our friends from England liked the German country side but were quite surprised […]
Berlin Day Hike: First Rays Of Spring around Waldsieversdorf And Dahmsdorf
We had a wonderful hike with our dear guests from England and we chose a trail which is mostly outside the forest to get some sun. When hiking along the Buckower Kleinbahn you’ll see an alley with huge old trees on the other side of the rails in the middle of nowhere. It leads to […]
Berlin Day Hike: Lange Dammwiesen Near Rehfelde In The Rain
Just a short hike to have a look how this landscape looks like to hike it another time. Unfortunately it began to rain like hell and we weren’t well equipped. Location: Bahnhof Herrensee – direction Hennickendorf – along Stranggraben – Dammwiesen – and back / Distance: 5 km / Public Transport: Bahnhof Herrensee over Lichtenberg, around […]
Spring Is Coming!
During winter we really struggled to spend our weekends on the countryside in the little house on the prairie because it was freezing cold (outside AND inside). But now you can smell and hear it: Spring is near. The singing birds are waking us up in the morning and I start becoming motivated for some […]
The Best Hikes In Berlin And Brandenburg
… even for people who did them all :-)) In the last years I was kind of busy exploring hikeable areas in Berlin and Brandenburg. Here is a list of most of my hikes in Berlin and Brandenburg including a rough evaluation of the public transport possibilities to get there. Behind every link you’ll find […]

A friend of mine had a big birthday party.
Berlin Day Hike: Light Caught In Lakes Near Waldsieversdorf
I didn’t have a lot of time today so I chose this tiny hike not far from where I have been. I was blessed with three wonderful lakes in bright sunshine. This hike can easily be extended, for example direction Buckow or Kesselsee. The landscape around there is wonderful and compared to everything around Berlin […]
Gear Review: Lowa Wendelstein After 500kms
I already made a review about Lowa Wendelstein boots some time ago but now I want to show them and write about their performance after I’ve tested them extensively. So here it comes. Those shoes became–after a difficult and long initial break-in phase–my every(hiking)day standard footwear. At the beginning they were stiff and I had some […]
