Marching around Brandenburg

We had some time to kill in the Potsdam train station sometime last week and ended up browsing the guidebook section of the bookstore (surprise, surprise). We were inspired to buy couple of guidebooks for walking routes around Brandenburg (the state in which Potsdam is located). We also got several good maps showing the routes - there is an incredible number of official walking routes linking all the local villages, passing by lakes and forest reserves.

We took the morning train to the town of Werder, walked down to the old town, which is a settlement on an island dating to the 10th century. From there we made our way south to Petzow before turning east to walk back to the end of the streetcar line in Potsdam.

Here are some pictures from the walk:
