The Berlin Festival of Lights is an annual event in which various monuments are lit up with spectacular light displays.
Wannsee loop hike
I organised a hike for the Berlin Hikers meetup group. I figured I’m lazy, so I chose a short route. I wanted to sleep in, so I made sure the route was close to town. I wanted to blob out and drink beer and eat food afterwards, so I chose a place with a nice cafe at the end of the route. Apparently lots of others liked this approach, as a ton of people came along 🙂
Midnight bike ride to Müggelturm
A big bunch of us headed for a midnight bike ride to Müggelturm, a strange communist era viewing tower on the south eastern edge of Berlin. Apparently back in the old days, the hip thing to do was hanging out in a strange tower in the middle of nowhere, admiring the surrounding forest. We finished off our trip with a picnic under the stars by Müggelsee, the largest lake near Berlin.

None of those butts are mine. It was too cold for me 😛
Hovedøya ruins
My friend Izabela and I headed to Hovedøya island in Oslo fiord during the summer to see the ruins of the Hovedøya Abbey, a Cistercian monastery. The monastery was completed on the 18th of May 1147 and closed in 1532.
Camping at Liepnitzsee
We chose the hottest weekend of the year to go on a bike camping trip to Liepnitzsee, a small lake north of Berlin. Heat exhaustion and bike tire problems did not manage to spoil a great weekend out. The water was amazing and so was the company 🙂
Me about to get into my new tent 🙂

Hiking in Grünewald
I went for a beautiful sunny day of hiking in Grünewald, a small forest within the Berlin city limits. The beautiful sun soon paved way for a beautiful torrential downpour ;
