Lewitzcamp Garwitz Campsite

Highlight • Rest Area

Small campground with only the most necessary equipment. Be sure to bring a headlamp. We could just put up our tent in August 2020, someone came over in the evening …

Finally, a quick, short hike of my own again – on the "flatlands."
I used the time before breakfast to do this hike. 44 years ago, I was here for the first time with friends and the RZ 85.
All a very beautiful environment that deserves to be admired and preserved.

As happens during the Christmas holidays, yesterday had a lot of delicious food to offer and unfortunately also far too little exercise.
So today I took advantage of the really good weather and hiked along the Elde.

Today I also completed a quick hike – in the opposite direction to yesterday.

Compared to yesterday,
it wasn't as oppressive.
