A very special guided tour brought us to some different initiatives in eastern Brandenburg, where we learned, how people from the city and from the villages live and work together on the countrysite and engage actively in village live. I was most impressed by the story of Trebnitz.

Spring is kicking in and the magic begins. I just took pictures from places where you can already see it. In reality, everything is still quite brownish and winterish.

A Walk Through The City And The New Berlin City Castle

Gallery24. April 20224. May 2022 hikeminded1 Comment

We made a “culture day” this day and saw the exposition “Berlin Global”. And for the first time we have been to the newly built Humboldt Forum aka the Stadtschloss. The castle in the middle of the city has been rebuilt at the place were once the Palast der Republik stood. The latter has been contaminated by asbestos and has been the government building of the former GDR which was a dictatorship. But at the same time, a lot of people identified with this state and this building and I still think, it was wrong to tear it down and build some kind of Disney World from the past at its place.

We had a nice day strolling through forests and fields. Pavlov is afraid of horses, since he touched the electrified fence, while sniffing one. Pobrecito!

Still during the dark times. A Sunday at Flughafensee turned out to be a birding day. Pavlov was not amused by the Swan hissing at him.

On our walk through the forest we met Donald Trump, the snowman. He was much nicer than his original. And he didn’t talk so much. Pavlov loves snow and he likes catching snowballs, just like in the last pictures.

This was Pavlovs birthday hike with his best friend Panda and of course the big and small humans had a lot of fun, too. In April, we already did a similar hike, when the two dogs still were babies.

My best friends from Würzburg and Hamburg came tu us to have a mushroom picking and – of course – eating weekend. Our success was moderate at best but I don’t mind. I had a great weekend.
