Hike to Gatow

[Doughnut Boy Andy]

It is 14 km from Mommsenstadion to Wannsee, then a 20 minute ferry ride and about 5 or 6 km from Kladow to Gatow, where there is also a bus. Some of DAWB are up for walking the wonderful route through Grunewald via Hundekehlesee, Grunewaldsee, Krumme Lanke and Schlachtensee, before catching the ferry across and finishing the job on the other side. We would probably want to meet at about 9am at Mommsenstadion (or 9.15 at Grunewald). It is still a few weeks to go, but anyone wanting in should maybe do some walking beforehand to get into training.

Anyone interested?

I forgot to mention, I ran the route Schlachtensee - Krumme Lanke yesterday. It is in deed a wonderful route.

In the end, two of us managed to walk from Mommsenstadion to the ferry terminal at Wannsee in a time of 2hours and 15minutes. We walked rather quickly, but even infrequent walkers could ramble it in three to four hours. The weather was beautiful and so we had a very enjoyable stroll along the lakes. All very picturesque and -depending on the date of the fixture and weather - a definite recommendation for next year. In Kladow we decided to sit in the shade and enjoy a beer or two. The walk up to Gatow is not as nice and the sun was beating down by then.
