Finally some sunrays and flowering on the countryside. Good Bye Winter, hello Spring! Here we walked around Garzau in the East of Berlin near Strausberg.

In The Forest Around Olympiastadion in Berlin

We wanted to see Olympiastadion from above and climbed (took the elevator of) the campanile. Afterwards Pavlov had to take a walk and we discovered the beautiful forest behind Waldbühne and that there is a very special kind of Berlin wild garlic – very tasty but compared to the “normal” wild garlic with much smaller leaves.

February In Briesetal And A Dog With A Job

Briesetal is still one of my favorite hikes and a lot of people discovered this enchanted area in the North of Berlin. Pavlov had a lot of fun with huge sticks and in the water. He doesn’t mind the temperatures at all.

Mushroom Picking Weekend

We had our best friends over to pick mushrooms last October. Unfortunately the weather was bone dry for two weeks in advance and our harvest wasn’t as good as three weeks in advance. But anyway: Good food, good friends and lots of laughter. Those days that will stay in mind.

Berlin Day Hike: Rainy Afternoon Around Stienitzsee

We had friends over and took a hike over Dammwiesen to Stienitzsee. The weather was quite unstable and we had to take a big stop at the ice cream parlour in Hennigsdorf, which is great for the food – yes, there’s not only ice cream – but you really have to close your eyes for the interior from hell.

And if you ever want to see cute donkeys, take a stop at Mühle Lemke. There is also a great shop for organic food for humans and all sorts of animals. Most of Pavlov’s food comes from there.

In The Forest, In The Garden

Autumn is coming and the glorious glows already show up regularly. We have a very, very good mushroom season this year, and sometimes we don’t even know what to do with our harvests. Luckily we have a drying machine. And no, we don’t eat the mushrooms in the pictures, except of the parasols.

A Visit From Outside Europe

We had the best four days with our dear friends Nicky and John from England and I still can’t believe that GB is not EU anymore. But the world is turning and this time it seams to turn back and forth like crazy. I don’t know if I will ever feel prepared for sh.. like that.

But with a short retreat on the countryside one can imagine, that the world and its mannerisms are far away – even if they aren’t – and just have a relaxed time in the woods.
