After Master Sen decided yesterday to go hiking with us today, we needed a suitable tour. 🤔 We wanted to enjoy the snow and peace and nature. The section of the Gürtel from Babelsberg is very accessible for us and offers everything we could wish for. 🥾

The highlights of this route:

- The campus of the University of Potsdam Babelsberg.
- The impressive tombs of the Stahnsdorf forest cemetery (unfortunately only from behind).
- The riverside path …

The last hike this year begins at the Babelsberg S-Bahn station and ends at the Teltow-Stadt S-Bahn station on the Berlin Gürtel line, stage 18.
This stage takes me on easy-to-walk paths (BUGA path 2001) through the forest and on the Kanalauenweg along the Teltow Canal.
The wonderful weather attracts quite a few walkers, and the birdlife also seems delighted …
