forest walks.

one of my most favourite things to do when i've got the time is having walks in forests. they bear some kind of calm & quietude that i miss in the city. i'm fortunate enough to have a lot of forests around in the area i'm living in. i never have to drive far. i'm a nature girl by heart, and if there wasn't nature around me, i think i'd really shrink mentally. i need this to readjust, to extract the power i need for living in the city. it's a reminder to me as to how beautiful the world is beyond work stress and dealing with humans. 

i turned 25 last week and my patience with humans and the interaction involved is at a new low. maybe there is such a thing as quarter life crisis. fact is, i do not search my inner freedom in interacting with people. my inner freedom can be found when i walk around in places like these. that's when i feel the most child-like and not ripped off my emotions.

human residues.





after some time we reached a small pond in which a few dogs took a bath.





views onto wiesbaden ( & mainz far in the back )




in the evening we stopped by the rhine. woods and rivers - i can't live without this.


we discovered this little guy. it's an acorn weevil.

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, ...
