Cycle Day 17 Berlin - Potsdam - Ferch

Thursday 7 August and we leave Berlin, cycling out of the city on the R1 Euro cycle route that we followed through the Baltic states. it is a hot day - close to 30 degrees.

We cross the Glienicke Bridge where spies used to be exchanged during the Cold War and stop for lunch in Potsdam beside a Soviet war cemetery. This grave is to an unknown soldier.

"Here is buried a soldier of the Soviet Army, name unknown"



Of course, outside Berlin there was much fighting. Soldiers are buried where they fall, in foreign lands. More lovely cycling through forests and by lakes and we stop in a small village called Ferch and pitch the tent for the night.
