Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Photo stop near Golzow
South of Brandenburg an der Havel the land breaks into a quiet patchwork of pine forest, heath, small lakes and farm villages, the transition between the Havel lowlands and the Fläming hills. Golzow is one of those villages, a cluster of farmhouses and a church where you will rarely see more than a few cars. It is the sort of place where you stop because it is peaceful rather than because of any particular attraction.

Photo stop near Golzow is where the day begins. Next is Lusatia Lakes and Tagebau Views checkpoint 8.
2. Near Buch
Buch, on the far northern edge of Berlin, is a district shaped by medicine. In the early twentieth century, the city architect Ludwig Hoffmann built a series of large hospital complexes here, in a park-like setting outside the crowded city, and Buch has been a centre of hospitals and medical research ever since. Today it is home to the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine and a cluster of biotech companies, as well as a large hospital campus, and the old Hoffmann buildings, with their red-brick and stone façades, are still impressive.

3. Back to Lusatia Lakes
Here the forest begins to close in on Berlin. Grünheide, a village of about seven and a half thousand, sits between the Peetzsee and the Werlsee, and its streets run among tall pines. It has become better known in recent years because the electric car maker Tesla opened a large factory in the forest on the edge of town in 2022.
