Walking on the Wild Side

Charming like the entire book, the title begins with a flirtatious hiking theme – who doesn't immediately think of Fontane's Wanderings? – a century and a half later, the pace is a bit faster, more rhythmic, with cheerful headings – "Hidden Corners in Rixdorf," "Time Out in the Uckermark," "Lilliput Castle and Weiberg Schlieben" – and surprising illustrations.

Here they are, the walking granddaughters of Fontane's Wanderings, opening the windows and gates to a Berlin-Brandenburg summer of hiking with delightful discoveries, fresh perspectives on the seemingly familiar – "By ferry from Wannsee to Kladow" and a completely unexpected encounter with a "lying Eiffel Tower" / Bergheider See. There are 70 such places, viewpoints, hiking trails, and thoroughly enjoyable, informative, entertaining, and enticing invitations to "Fontane's Wanderings 2025" with Flavia and Julia – Roman classicism and the Brandenburg-Berlin present. In addition, there are "recommendations at a glance," cycling routes, unique accommodations (a world of experiences like circus wagons...), farm shops offering regional products (which take years to fully appreciate!), and recurring events—all presented in a convincingly unsystematic and inviting way! And for long-time residents and those who think they know everything, it's a complete surprise! And Fontane? He would have taken it and set off on his own adventure.
