November 12, 2023,Ankershagen - Havel Quellseen

On the way you pass other legendary places: "Königswiege" - a striking Bronze Age burial mound with the golden cradle. (Apparently. But it hasn't been excavated yet.) A Slavic castle wall and ancient large stone graves. Along …

The Havel River rises here, in the area of these glacial …

September 11, 2022,3 Seen Wanderung und zur Havelquelle

Since it was supposed to rain, we chose a hike as an alternative to cycling. The Müritznationslpark offers itself formally for it.
We were able to observe cranes, sea eagles, common ravens and various other birds.
Great and no, it didn't rain 🤩👌
