October 21, 2022,Lopau: Abschlusswanderung vom Ortsverein

Today we went to Lopau again. The ghost village has a lot of history, not only because of the Zang resettlement in the 1970s. From around 1870, Richard Toepffer brought the steam engine to Germany and plowed the heath into forest in Lopau.
It's always nice here.
