that lil sign with the wheel and the number three is the one I'll follow, until I decide that's enough and I should turn back ^^

bit confused about this sign, which appears to lead me straight into a river...

there is some ferry station, but without much signage – am I to understand from those hand-painted markers in the lower left that the bike route does in fact cross here?

sure looks like I have to cross the river *somehow* so I'll make my way to the next bridge and then continue from there

well, truth be told, I've made it to A bike route. OsmAnd says it's the right one bit I've yet to find one of those wheel 3 markers again. let's see

*some* tree round here is supposed to be a natural monument that a Wikipedian requested a photo of. dunno if it's this one tbh, hard to tell. this look like a Stiel-Eiche to anyone?

Großer Müggelsee! I guess it's great by Berlin standards? doesn't hold a candle to Bodensee (Lake Constance) :P

made it to Erkner! this is the place that, looking at the map, I'd thought might be a feasible destination, distance-wise, so I'm happy :)

quickly waded I until waist-deep, threw myself forward so I was submerged to the neck, swam like five strokes further out and then turned back. over and done in less than 30s I figure

I also learned at least two important lessons from last time:
* make sure the tires have enough pressure (though I'm not carrying as much this time anyways)
* wear padded bicycle underwear
I think both of these are helping a lot today :)
