Description
Outdoor – Circular hike around Lehnin Monastery
with Harms Wulf and Daniel Salamon
The starting point of our summer hike in August is Lehnin Monastery, a well-preserved Cistercian monastery from the 12th century southwest of Potsdam. In addition to visiting the monastery, we will explore the varied areas with its extensive deciduous forests and idyllic lakes that invite us to swim on a circular route. We will also reach the beautifully situated village of Emstal, which has a bakery museum. Back in Lehnin, we can end our hike in a relaxed manner in a café at the lido.
Feel free to bring something for a picnic together. A stop is only possible at the end of the hike.
In addition to swimwear, sun protection and provisions, please also remember mosquito repellent.
What’s Village Outdoor?
Village outdoor Events are monthly meetups for the we are village community and their friends to enjoy outdoor activities in and around Berlin.
Activities include forest hikes, bike tours, swimming in lakes, sightseeing, and kayaking. Each month features a free and easy walk or hike in Berlin or its surrounding areas, accessible by public transport.
Harms Wulf Harms already knows Berlin from the times of division. Since then, he has explored the urban and natural spaces of Berlin and its surroundings both professionally and privately.
Für Thomas Fischer ist Bewegung im Freien und besonders in der Natur wichtig, um sich mit sich selbst und der Welt um ihn herum zu verbinden. Er unterstützt daher die Village Outdoor Angebote und bringt seine zwanzigjährige Erfahrung aus der Erkundung von Berlin und Brandenburg ein.
Mit seinem Hintergrund in den Gesundheitswissenschaften ist er besonders an der Verbindung von Geist, Körper und sozialen Verbindungen interessiert. Er ist davon überzeugt, dass Bewegung, Neugier und kontinuierliche Entwicklung zentral für die menschliche Reise durchs Leben sind.
