uckermark III + brandenburg VI

our uckermark (UC) in brandenburg (BB) = lakes + ostriches. it is as easy as that😄. this time combined with 1 week of mobile work for me 💻

fog over lake sabinensee in the early morning. willmine, UC

the picture is from our last visit in 2020. i like it more than the latest photos 😃

our long journey from munich? we've divided this 720 km + 7.5 h trip in 5 nice + interesting stages and spent 3 nights on the road (pls try to make all calculations needed by yourself, will you?):

spa bad berneck in bavaria
bitterfeld in sachsen-anhalt
schkopau castle in sachsen-anhalt at the return trip (the same link as for bitterfeld)

in the list below you will find our stops in brandenburg (BB) this time. why so many after we have reached 'our' final destination, the ostrich farm rätz? well, there are so few people here in the uckermark area that it is hard to find an open restaurant in the evenings. as we have had self-catering & farm food during the day, we've decided to drive 3 times approx 25 km to angermünde + templin + prenzlau just to get s.th. regional to eat. okay, let's define a greek restaurant as a regional sightseeing opportunity, too. as we knew already templin from a former visit, we enjoyed the chance to explore the other 2 destinations angermünde + prenzlau. dear BB, here we go:

beelitz-heilstätten ~ beautiful former sanitariums for lung diseases south of berlin in a nice forest. today are some still in use, few others are slowly reconstructed
lake werbellinsee ~ altenhof

nice restaurant 'alte fischerei' at or even over the lake (wooden terrace)
heaven & hell! 55 €uro fine for parking at some strip behind the overfilled parking area => quite an expensive lunch & swimming break 😇
historical uckermark area, but not longer in the current administrative district UC

historical (emperor) kaiser wilhelm II train station joachimsthal ~ located in the historical uckermark area, but not longer in the current administrative district UC
berkenlatten, ostrich farm rätz (UC) ~ our final destination 🐋🐓🍀
fredenwalde ~ small village with interesting oddity! many houses had plates with old pictures + their history, like e.g. a former smithy, a guest house etc. ... there was also a castle like manor-house, a not reconstructed church with a former timber-wooded tower, a community change & donate & reuse 'shop' and somewhere at the hill a really old (8,000 years?) and allegedly oldest cemetery in germany, which we did not find this time. maybe in 2024, who knows?
lake sabinensee in willmine, close to berkenlatten = our daily swimming exercise before breakfast
gerswalde
angermünde + lake mündesee

like-minded people protesting against corona measures & government
about 50 €uro fine for driving too fast in a 30 km/h zone

templin + lake templiner stadtsee
prenzlau + lake unteruckersee ~ sad fucked up WWII victim as in april 1945 were 85% of the city center completely destroyed ... and not much was rebuilt since then
berlin ~ we basically just drove through in both directions and stopped just for a coffee + pee somewhere in the north-western part of the city

UC. both pictures made by a colleague of mine, ernestine. nice, arent they?

the administartion of angermünde (like all puppet state germany as a part of the 'collective west') is pro ukraine. a month later also pro genocide on palestinians in gaza. and the people in the west? the most are pro peace, you know? but yes, those who consume dirty MSM often believe putin is the enemy and murder of tens of thousands nurslings 'hamas terrorists' and baby 'hamas terrorists' is self defence. the waste majority of people who think for themselves are agains western neocolonialism and wars and few of us also protest against the western so called 'elites' and real scum like at munich's MSC.
