Spring - summer time - the sky sooo blue...
We will be picked up at Tropical Island train station. In Schlepzig, four of us embark on this beautiful tour. There are no mosquitoes (yet) and only a few cyclists.
In culinary terms, there is nothing missing in the Spreewaldgasthaus Petkampsberg gasthaus-im-spreewald.de and in the private brewery seinerzeit.de/brauerei.
