Lenschow Memorial Stone

Highlight • Monument

Here once stood the village Lenschow, which was demolished in the 70s. It was too close to the border to the single FRG.
Today, there is almost nothing left to see from the former inner-German border.

February 10, 2024,Kammerbruch – Wakenitz Runde von Groß Grönau

Unfortunately, half of the route was directly on the road. The route somehow looked nicer on the internet at komoot 🙃
Halfway through we went on smaller paths, but the nature was really beautiful the whole way, the fields and meadows, lots of cattle.
But I wouldn't do the route again. Walking right along the street isn't really that cool... …

May 19, 2024,Brücke über die Wakenitz – Badestelle Wakenitz Runde von Groß Grönau

Unfortunately, the route was full of mosquitoes from the start. We were completely bitten, gave up and went back across the road to the car.

July 10, 2022,Nandu-Safari im NSG Kammerbruch und an der Wakenitz

Months ago, I originally asked Kerstin (Shadowwalker @Kerstin ) if she would like to go on a Nandu safari with me. However, this loose plan was not realized, and possibly the long journey (approx. 1 hour) and the lack of a guarantee of success would not have been a good setting for a first (and blind) date.
