December 14, 2024,Wermsdorfer Wald - Wüstes Schloss Osterland - Runde von Fliegerhorst

We started at the air base - built in 1935 and a former Soviet garrison - now a residential area.
sachsenschiene.net/bunker/tup/tup_48.htm
oschatz-damals.de/L_Flieger.htm
The destination was the desert castle "Osterland" - built between 1211 and around 1230 and gradually falling into disrepair since around 1300.

Even though it didn't really get light today - it was beautiful and interesting 👍
