Lots of wetness, lots of moor. But no mosquitoes. Yay

Absolutely great food on an island. Unfortunately not on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Maybe we should take another look at certain scribblers.

A really rustic area. The footbridge is old, the railings are rotten and have fallen over. The planks you walk on are great though. There is a risk of tripping though.

Located on the island and only accessible by ferry (3 €) from Bantikow or Kyritz. Very nice location with friendly service and good food.

The Voluntary Labor Service (FAD) in the Weimar Republic was introduced by law in 1931 by Chancellor Heinrich Brüning. On July 16, 1932, a decree was issued. "The Voluntary Labor Service is based on the decision of free people who seek work with body and soul." The so-called workers drained moors, planted dunes, dug canals and probably also built this hiking trail along the Untersee.
