Beyond the Horizon

July 14, 2025

Sometimes happiness lies where no one expects it – not in the destination, but in hesitation. Not in the panoramic sign, but on a bench that looks as if it has forgotten itself. If you stroll along the Havelhöhenweg towards Kladow, an old tree will eventually whisper: "Sit down."

There it stands, crooked, wind-beaten, as if it were made of the wood that shades its backrest. Two planks, a piece of trunk, some moss. No sign, no selfie spot. Just you, the bench, the roots, the expanse – and the view over the Havel, unfolding so slowly, as if it too were in no hurry. Sails drift like thoughts through the wind. Schwanenwerder lies silently there, like a forgotten promise.

You don't sit down here to rest. You sit down because you feel: This moment belongs to you – and to everyone at the same time. A secret place for what doesn't have to be loud. Just the forest, the water, and the thought that time sometimes stops – all by itself.
