i'm doing it like many other germans this coronavirus summer i've borrowed a camper van and i look forward to a break in the fresh air in the. the region is about 2 hours drive from northeast of berlin. there are few people and though a lot of space that's typical for the oh come on fields as far as the eye can see. and many lakes in between if you're in nature my world. just arrived that's my campsite it leads the lake the boss here shows me the way to the parking space. so what now. do you know mr speaker

walk in front and you'll drive up there and then back him. oh. yeah the bottom of yeah super keep coming turn a bit to the right. super lotto not go straight for a little to the right it's a great you did it. now i need electricity. and action. what he stands with us you are there more people here than the past 2 years the government has recommended going on vacation in your own country because of the coronavirus. here. in deference to corona virus measures were not fully booked we could easily accommodate 200 more people but we don't want to do that you can see that there's a lot of space. where outdoors and the risk of infection is minimal but we don't want anything to increase as naturally we have grown a regular. we ask that you wear

a face mask in all public buildings stores sanitary facilities and at the boat rental. business who are the typical campers you just like me or permanent campers. you can assume that in the camper community 10 percent of the people have never been to a german campground before they're now underway to something there's an even bigger run on campsites so in normal summers we turn away 20 people a day now it's 3040 or even 50 to one i hate to admit it but we unplug the phone. it just wasn't doable anymore and. now are there musky deals at night do i have to put on repellent. no we finish them off. as you know it's not a big year for mosquitos plagues only happen if it's noisy and warm during the breeding season then the larvae hatch that's not the case this year you're mosquito

bites and will compensate you for each one shouldn't be too many i'm not taking a big risk in saying that i'll see this through alright thanks. my neighbors have already made themselves at home. a camper van took me here safely so now it can take a break i will explore the area on foot and by bike and to be honest i'm really looking forward to all the nature and swimming in the lake so let's go. this should also be on your to do list. i also recommend. an hour of your video for the week shows how exciting it became can be. before i check out the campsite you guys can check out my cat. prevent the sun

protect. the fridge. my bad. and my kitchen what more do i need. now i'm ready to take a look around. nice and shiny here. and there is also a lake this is very important. because it's hot really caught. let's see if any of my neighbors are at home and all. the way from. not far from here from this to teen lagoon we've been coming here for 20 years why are you camping because we always camp was the best thing about it but it's nice to

be out on fresh air that it's not so crowded is it a home town. nice or not to be confined to a small banks even if the campgrounds foam that's being cooped up in a hotel with $500.00 on. the way camping here has caught up to the coronal were on holiday here in germany here we have a wonderful spot we're glad to use like going to see. mike you time to get on the bike. at cyclists you have peace and quiet everywhere on the roads there are hardly any cars and you've got plenty of psychopaths. do you know who likes to vacation here in the oh come on our chancellor merkel she grew up in this area meadows forests many rivers and around 600 lakes so it's just

the perfect spot for all those who are looking for peace and quiet. as. you. calls home turf half of the land here is environmentally protected. the tranquility and seclusion is something prescience in her free time. especially quiet and peaceful in one of the last remaining primeval beach forests in germany unesco named a world heritage site in 2011. the forest is off limits to visitors unless you take part in a took conducted by ranger. would

. come out so natural landscape. in the region is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. also boasts fertile farmland lots of grain is grown here. and you see fruit trees lining the roads mainly apple and cherry trees many were planted in the 17th and 18th centuries to provide the population with reliable source of that immense. there are no major cities in the all come out instead small villages lie scattered between the hills and the fields isolation is a way of life here. so this might seem like an unlikely spot for a causal but boats and book is not the only car still here there are over 150 many

houses and cars in the region their boats and book is the biggest. like the very. famous castle but some book was built in new renaissance style today the castle houses the hotel and the youth hostel. the grounds include a large park it's so big it has 2 hiking trails leading through it. in terms of area templin is the largest town just 16000 people live here. the town dates from the middle ages life here is quiet and serene with the village feel. uncle america was born in hamburg but she grew up and attended school in tempe. she still has family in the will come up and a little holiday home in the country. many business in particular have now

discovered the chance of the ok mark and spend their weekends here is the perfect place to get away from the big city from politics. i'm on my way to mark lakes nature park. why are there so many lakes here. the landscape has its oddities and thomas for posts knows that he's a nature guide and the 1st thing i do is get to know a special landscape architect. we have to go in here to get to the beaver dam lot done. yes the local market has many many legs the year we have a natural lake created by a beaver and it's never too thin be made the dam here with wooden mud it's

impenetrable and stable to. the i can walk over it but his guts are no problem. ok but then i'll climb on the beavers roof. weighed 25 to 30 kilos that's my weight . problem. the beaver designed this landscape creating a habitat for many other species. all in a day's work for a beaver you know how long does the beaver take for that i figure just a couple hours and then. there's another lake it's lake. how much can you actually jump into any lake like that more or less in terms of the water quality yes. i was in that but there are protected areas are not allowed to set foot into. it with. where there's a dock or

a beach it's no problem of the. large and small lakes they all formed when the glaciers retreated during the last ice age that's 15000 years ago. is a bit of an insider tip is that still the case but with it's more popular than before but it's still an insider to forget it will come on because very sparsely populated with more than 20 people per square kilometer in some areas. and the tourist numbers are small even if everything here is fully booked and you can still walk for hours without meeting a soul in the student mentioned stuff and went he has the coronavirus pandemic put the brakes on here what has changed. spring was a disaster for the restaurant sector but since late may we've been able to open up the holiday homes again and everything's been booked up ever since i knew

a lot of people of com who planned a holiday abroad but now campbell don't want to or and they're looking for insider tips in germany if the guy tips also this year demand is really high say of course enough for now thank you very much my pleasure and fun in the local market. his next tour is already waiting. i discovered the high seat of course i have to go up there no dear and no people. this summer and many people all around the world are staying at home because of the coronavirus pandemic or they are on vacation in their home country at the moment we can only dream of long distance travel or indulge in memories like michael farfan from that car in bangladesh he's still enthusiastic about his 1st trip to singapore here's our of email of the week. ringback ringback

ringback ringback can. cause.

october i continue my trip through the ok mark along shady avenues. in felicity better i take a break. the church is as old as the village it dates from the 13th century. it's nice here. kent there's a lot that other villages habitat for a long time for example a mediæval city was. first nevada also has its own bakery which has become a rarity in the villages. and there's even a bookstore. a local history museum. and a small grocery store. the world is still in order in 1st move out of. business

the opportunity to buy some provisions even find regional products here. look from the chili cheese that's mine. and now let's go to the next lake. it's not far it's obvious but 1st nevada also as a lake. this is the perfect spot. to. cause. many of the lakes to be oakum are interconnected and the best way to discover this water world is by canoe well this can be done as

a guided tour or you could pedal on your own either way it's an adventure. what better way to travel from lucian to templating than by vosa lucian isn't called the town of the 7 next for nothing you can paddle your way right through the center of town on the canal. all take idyllic trivia ptrace. only elite. you can rent a car or can you just about anywhere for between 20 and 40 years the day depending on those signs and if you're paddling along on weekdays you'll have the waterways pretty much to yourself. crossing over a course a missions a lake we reach the bullets river. to

get to the next lake you have to pass through a sluice gate. there's a lot of traffic here so be prepared for a long way. but then those traveling here are usually in no big hurry. just one pull on the green leader and you can go on your way. and there's nothing difficult about it and the journey continues to the next with the hof and it leads all the way to tempe. but it's a long and often loaded journey. it takes 4

days to come back from a mission to typically they can catch up before actual tours along the beach. police. elite. just outside of tempe. but still got the energy can keep paddling from here all the way. it and it. plays. back the way it is. imo. my way to the cot the state

a good example of sustainable tourism there you can eat drink sleep all in harmony with nature there are also 2 parking spaces for campers here for free. going to i'm look at us i'm floyd can you drive a bit further and sure. in return the guests eat or shop here that's a cool idea. it's. truly an end edda use the fruit that grows in b. area in the orchard spent gardens to make juices and wines. they mainly process rare old varieties in this way they help to maintain the stuff. there wines are award winning. she came here from berlin around 20 years ago which means you've seen a lot in the region what has changed in the area that they seem to humans.

compared to big cities the changes are slow. and more and more urbanites are coming here and they're developing small new projects context here. on. and so on the whole life here is becoming more attractive and diverse so that's not . a party volunteers out to go vote it is a trend that people from the big city come here to the or come back and then start something new york that could yeah it's now that way in most parts of eastern germany. there's lots of space plots. the many people have left over the last 30 years. they've created space for new people to come and try things out. and. like you. yes like us. competition isn't

a problem here. our region sparsely settled and there's little infrastructure. and if you can deal with that it gives you the opportunity to start something. from. mark to do ok mark. they got delicious i got to get some of this. early on also confirms to me that there are significantly more guests in the oakum market this coronavirus summer the holiday apartments here on the estate are also fully booked. the coronavirus pandemic has changed people's lives worldwide and brazil is a country that's been particularly hard hit but there are also regions that have largely been spared by the coronavirus and that gives us hope from the south of the
