Said our farewells to Graham, he has a time deadline to be reaching Warren by middle of week, we have some time up our sleeve so decided to do a little side trip to Templin. A few small canals connecting some lakes about 11km all up from main canal. Water levels later in the season could make this tricky to navigate so thought we should do it now.
Got into Templin yesterday afternoon, and what a gorgeous town, glad we made the detour. Templin's claim to fame is that this is where Angela Merkell grew up. A walled town, wall dates from 13th century, and intact! ( must have been some restoration work done over the years) Wall is 1735 mt long and between 6 & 7 mt high. Numerous gates around the perimeter adding to its charm
Plan to spend a couple of days here, strong winds forcast , some rain and storms, Knud keen to get some training in for Italy too, weather permitting .
