^{^ToC} 1 From Wittenau To Lübars and Tegeler Fließ

^{^ToC} 1.1 First Part: From U8/Wittenau Through Märkisches Viertel

The start is at the terminal station of U-eight in Wittenau. (Sorry, with the first few pictures, my camera took the wrong GPS)

Before the "Märkisches Viertel" had been built, there was this settlement of small one family houses we are passing throuht. They lived peaceful at the end of the city, nearly rural. Then the Ghetto came! Some may have fled! The others resist! And ignore!

Of course Märkisches Viertel has its own heating and power station. You can see it to the left, just before entering the old settlement.

Once you've found the entrance you are in a different world of its own.
(Do NOT follow the main street, it's too easy, and not SO interesting. better find the passage beneath the big zig-zag building you are approaching!)

^{^ToC} 1.2 To Freizeitpark Lübars Mountain

As if cut, you are again in a new world as soon you've left this Ancient Ring of Stones!
Follow the river!

Turn LEFT as soon as you reach the MAUERWEG, the old border:

The old cemetry was probably not in use during "Ostzeiten", too close the the wall!

Now this road it's in the middle of nowhere, and no-one would spend money for ILLUMINATION. But it was part of the border separating the "world":

In parallel runs the Heidekrautbahn. Beware! Its still in use!

Hereafter is NOTHING!
NIRWANA!
BRANDENBURG!
You'll find villages where not even the pub survived!
On the other hand: In summer this is an ocean of wild flowers and herbs! Then it smells like La Provence ! (well, NEARLY !-)
The masses on the horizon are the famous and dangerous Barnim mountains , still unconquered by Mr Messner!

Tell me, what here is nature, what is man-made, what is rock, wall, tree and tree house?
When you see this crazy thing to your left, turn left and zig-zig towards the next higher mountain!

Now climb the mountain! It's worth the effort! At clear days you can see the Barnim!!! (and the Fernsehturm!)

At the horizon, the NEXT MOUNTAIN (one as artificial as the other, of course, thanks to English bombers !-)
I really got alpine feelings, not only because of so many mountains, but also because here is a professional ski and "Rodel" course. Its professional becaue it has flood light . (But I do not know whether it's ever switched on, because of the costs ?-)

Anyhow, you have an impressive view back to Märkisches Viertel:

A few weeks later we contiue the tour, and we can see the center of Berlin not cleary, but unambiguously.

^{^ToC} 1.3 The Tegeler Fließ towards Lübars

Because our co-hiker went sick, we had to continue the tour a few weeks later.

Simply follow the ski piste downnhill, northwards. Pass the settling to the left (=east), and walk across the field. We appraoch the Tegeler Fliesa and Lübars:

The TEGELER FLIESS! It's one of the most beautiful places of Berlin at every time of the year!
But wheen you come back in summer, you will have hundreds of kinds of flowers (but millions of moscitos !-)

This is NOT an original buildung of the Lübars village, but a reconstruction what COULD have stood here in the 13th century
(Notabene, a time when the Roman Emperors' Palaces had gone to ruins already for ninehundred years. No wonder they called as "Barbarians" !-)

^{^ToC} 1.5 The Tegeler Fließ Towards Hermdsdorf

After a few meters we reach the end of the village (it's small, since original!) and turn right, back into the Tegeler Fließ:

From Lübars to Hermsdorf, you can follow the "blue line" hiking path, or the path "nuber three. The signs of the latter are hardly visible:

Its a loverly sunday, and a lot of walkers and cyclists are on their way, ...

..., but the vast plains are totally free of humans! Why that? They are SWAMPS! Don't leave the official trail, it MAY be dangerous (depending on the weather and the time of the year)!

Between Lübars and Hermsdorf they built a DAM through the swamp, intended as a permanent connection. But they achieved the very opposite: The ground was not strong enough, the dam sank and caused a deep trench!

So they constructed a light-weight gangway instead, a few meters further west:

^{^ToC} 1.7 In Hermsdorf

Once upon a time, Hermsdorf was a medieval village, too. But while Lübars was off-road, Hermsdorf has always been cut by an important inter-state road! So you only see relicts of the past if you look out for them carefully:

From here we took the bus back to civilisation (i.e. to U8 and U9!)

^{^ToC} 2 From Spandau to Tegeler See

We went with the S-Bahn to Spandau and left the station not via the main hall, but went directly to the waterside:

Then we turn left, and for the rest of the tour follow the HAVEL northward, but in varying distance.

The ZITADELLE of Spandau is also worth visiting, but its a tour on its own, so we just admired the outer view: end:

Berlin is an aggregation of many VILLAGES. Each of them has its own BREWERY. We can pass through its garden, always following the river.

This is a part of the new "Wasserstadt" ("water city"), one of the parts which are already inhabited. Most parts indeed are still wastelands, as we shall see soon!

This is the bridge to EISWERDER. You can take it, then the tour is a little bit shorter, and it's also interesting.

This is a NEW bridge, the "Spandauer-See-Brücke", the first bridge on our trail which has been constructed in course of the "Wasserstadt" project.

Then the Nordhafen is in our way, and we have to make a small detour. Here we enter HAKENFELDE.

We turn left and then turn right again as soon as possible. Here in the Streitstraße, we find the former "Luftfahrtgerätewerk Siemens und Halske", which is of course a NAZI-building. Very impressive:

We assume that this open place had once carried big industrial halls for ZEPPELIN production, but we're not sure yet. It's quite amazing, such a huge waste land in the middle of the town, and quite romantic!

Then we follow the Rauch-Str. westward ...

...and again to the Ruhleben power plants (there are more than one!):

This new Gartenstadt was meant for hundreds of houses and tenthousands of people form young families. TEN houses are already there, and that has been the situtation for the last ten years! The children grown up here had much space for playing in the mud, but not many neighbour kids! Now they're grown-up!

AND they have operating traffic lights, in the middle of nowhere! Sorry, I forgot to take a photo, go there and have a look yourself!

Behind there is, on one side, a further waste land, the so-called "Rohrbruch-Wiesen", on the other a Laubensiedlung, and there is a small path with a hand-written sign "Uferweg" which leads to the "Spandauer Schiffahrtskanal":

Its hard to find the way to Tegel-city! After crossing the canal there are a lot of signs pointing to Mitte and Wedding, but no single one in our direction.
Keep north, the main road, for about fifty meters, and then keep as far left as possible or as legal!

With this fool-proved anti-maze-method First you will reach the landing pier of the small private ferry to Marienwerder.

Then you have to turn, walk back and walk around all this private yacht harbour.
Allway keeping to the left, as far as public property, you will reach the Tegeler See after cd. threehundred meters:

This guy was killed by some young mad-men, when he wanted to protect his friends (I wonder why THEY did not protect HIM, but it sowehow went wrong!?-) He was just twenty-three and I think that's a fucking age to die.
