lost in the jerkwater.

a few weeks ago i went to another medieval festival with l. and some of her friends. we got lost on our way there, at least it seemed so. in fact it was totally different. the castle we visited was in such a provincial area that we almost thought we'd reached the end of the world. in the end it was one of the best medieval markets i've visited this year. small but very authentic and nice.

tuberculosis free livestock.

sheep greeting us on our way up.

we had to take a rest because the way up to the castle was so steep! and since it was very early spring all kinds of dry leaves were still lying around so i took a bath in them.

castle hohenstein.

musician & jugglers.

hanging rats.

sneaking upon stylish people.

this nice guy gave me his cute ferret to hold. i was in heaven as you can see on the next photo.

it was the softest little thing!

first aid.

to the knights!

lookout.

ant photographs.

the tent of the wise woman. totally witchy!

knights!

then we had to say goodbye again.

and found huge flies on house walls!

and horses with an emperor wilhelm beard :D

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...

july '20: a boat ride across the lakes.

starting point in malchow harbour. when you're in the mecklenburg lakelands you need to do some of the many boat rides they offer up all around the various lakes! that's really sort of the best way to get a little overview over the many lake destinations and being on the water and feeling the wind on your face ( or the rain 😂 ) and seeing the life in the water and the landscapes around you, it's just special, i think! they often also tell you historic bits and pieces of the lakes, informing you on possible sights you should seek out, too! when you book a tour, you can choose between big day trips crossing several lakes, depending from where you start, or you can choose short rides that last a couple of hours and perhaps even have a theme like a sunset tour or a romance tour ( possibly with romantic dinner for two options 😉 ). from malchow you can choose between two tour providers: reederei pickran & the blau-weiße-flotte . there are tours that include up to 7 lakes, ...
