Der Große Stechlinsee

We took the train and bus to Furstenberg (Havel) - about two hours travel time - and then bicycled the 9km to the village of Neuglobsow, which is on the lake.

The writer Theodore Fontane spent a lot of time here, and this is a stanza from his poem "Good Advice" that was painted on the wall at the aptly-named Gaststätte und Pension Fontanehaus. "On a summer morning/Take out your walking staff,/Your troubles will disperse/Like the fog."
