After queuing to empty
waste water and fill with fresh water, we set off from Berlin. The
Berlin-Mitte stellplatz worked out very well for us and it extremely
well positioned for visiting Berlin. Our pitch, backing on to the
sports field and on the side furthest from the road, was relatively
quiet but a pitch next to the road would have been very noisy. The
site was either full or very nearly full every night that we were
there so if you want to stay here, don't leave it too late in the
day.
Our journey took us
mostly on motorways and dual carriageways until we approached the
Harz mountains. We diverted slightly from the direct route in order
to drive up the Bode Valley. Exposed rock stacks stood high above
Thale and minor roads took us to Treseburg where we took the
extremely pretty route up the valley. From this point on we saw lots
of walkers, it is obviously a very popular area, and they were
enjoying the sunny weather.
Just before we turned
south to reach Hohengeiss we passed a sign that stated that we were
passing the old East German border. This explained why the minor
roads that we had been travelling on had been in such a poor state
and in the villages it was clear that the cobblestoned streets had
simply been given a thin coat of asphalt.
As we approached the Am
Barenbache campsite, the weather deteriorated, the temperature
dropped and it was soon raining.
