Turbo

As early as never before in the season, I completed my annual tour of the Wall Trail today. I was pleasantly surprised that the bad pothole slope at the junction in Krampnitz in the direction of Sacrow is asphalted and that the long construction site in the Mauerpark is finally finished.
With my gravel bike I was over 1 km / h faster than my fastest lap with my cross bike, I didn't expect that. With my new hydration pack I got through without a water refill stop for the first time.
Except for a short procedure in Rudow and then searching for the way, I completed the route without errors. In advance I looked at the published route on the map of Berlin.de. This deviates from the signage in some places 🤔
The Schwanenbrücke to the New Garden in Potsdam has been closed for half a year, which is why the dangle over the Hasenbrücke

After dropping off our Pentecost rental car, I went home by bike. The rental car business there currently seems to be much more active than the flights ...The sadly empty pictures come from the rental car pickup

I was looking for the Army Research Institute in Bad Saarow (there was a more famous institution of the same name in Peenemünde). I only found the GSSD ammunition depot, which the Soviets used to expand the original barracks. There were only empty barracks to see, which were surprisingly free of graffiti.More information here:

I.e. there is probably only the ammunition depot

You can read more about the history of the circus and this lost place as well as look at beautiful pictures (especially with a somewhat undamaged relief above the fireplace) here:digitalcosmonaut.com/2019/winterquartier-staatszirkus-ddr

After the discovery by Mike and Lauri (komoot.de/tour/87880157) and a flash visit (komoot.de/tour/91489334) last year, I had more time today to look at the site. In one of the large tanks, the brave (which I did not belong to today) can climb an almost vertical ladder down about 15 mHere I discovered a picture from below in the tank: vimudeap.info/de/atlas/nva-treib-und-schmierstofflager-44/images/#image-8357
Wow!

After a few lost-place tours, a wild ride through nature and partly deep sand. The former gravel pit is impressive, but rather unsuitable for cyclists.
With the old field railway there was even a small lost place

The former FU Institute of Anatomy has been empty since 2005 after the medical faculties of the two large universities in Berlin were merged. According to newspaper reports, it should be demolished, and extensive clearing has already taken place recently. That's why I made my father's day trip here today, after that I did a few laps on the Tempelhofer Feld to break down adrenaline.morgenpost.de/bezirke/steglitz-zehlendorf/article228593503/Abriss-des-ehemaligen-Instituts-fuer-Anatomie-beanracht.html

I was here a few weeks ago: komoot.de/tour/167673195In the meantime I noticed that I missed two highlights - the graffiti on the cauldrons and the view from above. That's why I was there again today and made up for it

After I already knew the asphalt taxiway and the tower of the field airfield in Löpten (komoot.de/tour/74443121), I looked at the grass runway today. At the eastern end, the tarmac tarmac is blocked with transverse trees.Inspired by rdf231 (komoot.de/tour/178779628 - thanks!) I then looked at two bunker systems in the area. I did not find the entrance to the second bunker, but due to fresh sand and bulldozer traces I also had the impression that something was recently spilled here.I copied the links to the bunkers from rdf231's tour description:Auxiliary message center 2:

As a holiday substitute, there was a bivouac for the children last night. For the viewer with imagination: a beaver can be seen in the lower left of the dark picture
