I managed to get up on the dot of 8:00 and breakfast (one roll with sausage, coffee) was had, lunch made and everything packed up for the day in 40 minutes. I was down to the station a little earlier and correspondingly earlier into Potsdam, where I had a bit of a look around. Bus to Ferch was fairly full, but the going was smooth and we were soon in the place itself. A march around the block brought me back to the bus stop where the walk proper begins.

Must be a lovely place to spend a summer in. The village center was signed, so if that were doable in the time you could climb up to it, or you could remain on the level and aim for the stop at the camping ground, another ten minutes along. Read more…

I had been woken at around 3:00 by someone having a very hot shower, and someone else (the boyfriend) vaping in the lounge. I hope the shower wasn’t meant as contraception, although it looked very much that way (especially at that time, and with the vape). I couldn’t sleep much past 7:30, and so started on my preparations for the hike.

The smaller roll was had for breakfast and the larger one set up with bell pepper sausage for lunch. That with now four litre bottles of water was packed away and I was ready to go with the first set of trains. Had to stop by the bank for some cash, but even then I took a set of trains one too early, and a good thing, too, because it took most of the twenty minutes waiting time trying to ascertain where the 580 bus left from (all other bus lines appeared to start with “6”). Finally nailed down the bus, asked the driver and identified the temporary bus stop that he was planning to use.

There must also have been an issue with traffic around the forest fire, because as we were about to enter Lehnin, everybody seemed to be wanting to exit the motorway, and a gigantic traffic jam ensued. Our bus driver did the best he could, and we had only about ten minutes’ delay in the end. Then it was off onto the track again. Read more…
