February 2, 2025,Von Himmelpfort über Bredereiche nach Fürstenberg/Havel

And today we went to the Havel again.
The starting point was in Himmelpfort. The town is asleep, nothing is happening and Santa Claus is on holiday...
It always goes along the Havel, sometimes very close, sometimes through the forest.
We reach Bredereiche and cross the Havel at the lock.
On the same water, now upstream to Fürstenberg.
It was …

February 2, 2025,Von Himmelpfort nach Fürstenberg/Havel

[Recording from February 2, 2025]
I've already visited Santa Claus in Himmelpfort this year. Now it can begin. A hike along the water with Stolpsee and Havel. Wonderful, even if the dull weather is a bit annoying. But it's extremely quiet: no wind, no car noise, no people, I like Brandenburg! And as always at this time of year, the …

October 17, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge Brandenburg - See 24 - Stolpsee

Today, another lake that's not particularly far from home. A lake that's not so easy to circumnavigate, though. Stolpsee near Himmelpfort. So I start at Santa Claus's office—yes, Christmas is almost upon us. Although, this office is open all year! The weather is supposed to be wonderful, and my mood already is! The path first leads me to the campsite, …

February 15, 2022,Entlang der Havel bis hin zum Frauen KZ Ravensbrück und zum Jugendkonzentrationslager Uckermark 🥾

In my home town of Eberswalde, there was a Ravensbrück subcamp from 1944, in which women had to do forced labor for the Ardelt works. Many people in my home country no longer have any knowledge of this concentration camp... and that is where the mistake lies, the forgetting.

September 14, 2024,Baalenseebrücke – Schleuse Himmelpfort Runde von Himmelpfort

Our tour started from Fürstenberg an der Havel train station in fantastic weather and with three nice and very friendly people. Here we first went through the beautiful but also somewhat sleepy town, which is surrounded by lots of water. We first went towards the old town, where we passed the Protestant brick church, whose slender shape towered towards the …
