TOUR
We’ll start our tour by heading north from Groß Köris, passing our 'entry fee'(! 🙂) spot and meandering around a couple of small lakes towards the 'dune', a gigantic sand hill in the middle of the forest.
Here we will have lunch - bring an 'ass-mat'. We’ll then continue along the shoreline of Pätzer Hintersee, before looping past a vegetable garden shop back towards Bestensee.
BRING A SHOPPING BAG & SOME CHANGE!
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is an artistic endeavour to participate in this hike. Call it the entry fee. All will be revealed to participants. Just think 'get crafty!'.
FOOD & DRINK
Bring food for lunch, snacks & plenty of water for the hike.
We can stop for dinner in Bestensee, for those that want to join. Booking will be required.
RETURN
Trains are hourly back to Berlin.
WHAT ELSE
You are responsible for your own safety.
I prefer smaller groups, as this is less stress on the nature.
Wear weather appropriate clothes and sturdy shoes.
Bug spray!
**Dogs present/allowed. Please do not feed the dog(s)!**
Hike will be at a standard pace of about 4km per hour
All costs are yours.
Please note my hikes don't always go to plan!
Only thunderstorms & torrential rain will halt this hike!
RULES
Attendance Policy
If you are moved to “going” and are either a NO SHOW or do not update your RSVP at least 72 hours before the hike starts, you will receive a 2 consecutive-hike ban* from my future hikes, no exceptions!
Additionally, all participants failing to show up or update their RSVP will be marked as NO SHOW to advise other organisers.
DO NOT just SHOW UP - you will be banned from HIKE BERLIN
Why These Rules?
Late RSVPs and no-shows, are a very annoying thing to manage, and therefore I introduced a two tier signup process, to prioritise fairness for the community.
The goal is to give committed individuals a better chance to participate and maintain a positive group experience. Not just a first-click first-serve basis.
*It's free, but not free to take the piss!
