Dropped Off 3/3/2013 Team Vineta placed it in Bauernsee Brandenburg, Germany - 135.37 miles  Visit Log

On the way back from holiday to Oberwiesesenthal we paased the capital of Germany - Berlin.
And what could be more natural than place your Blue Magpie near an airport store, so he can take his future in the big wide world ...
And in addition .... on a beautiful lake, where the beautiful blue bird feels comfortable certainly, until he was picked up and taken....
Look in this case the future airport "Berlin-Brandenburg International" (BBI), which is already longer than planned in construction and this beautiful, small lake nearby.
We are reluctant to let you go, beautiful blue bird, but wish you the very best in your way forward ....
Fly and be free ....

Visited 2/25/2013 Team Vineta took it to Fichtelberghaus Sachsen, Germany - 245.66 miles  Visit Log

We went with our dogs for a week on a skiing holiday to Saxony (an eastern state of Germany).
The place is called Oberwiesenthal and is the highest town in Germany (914 m).
The mountain there is the "Fichtelberg" and is 1215 m high.
In comparison, Germany's highest mountain is the "Zugspitze" and is located in the southern state of Bavaria and is 2962 meters high.
Nevertheless, you can also on the Fichtelberg good skiing in the winter ....
In the picture you can see our dogs at the top of the Fichtelberg, there is a canine memorial statue.

Visited 2/19/2013 Team Vineta took it to Steilküste bei Bansin Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany - 4.98 miles  Visit Log

Here we show you a geological feature of our country: the cliffs.
They are available in Germany, particularly on Rügen (Germany's largest island) and the ones you see here on Usedom, near the small town of Bansin, here they are 54m high.
In the pictures you can see our dogs at the foot of the cliff, on the cliffs (the little dots at the bottom of the sea are human) and a stone, called "BansinerWappenStein" ("Bansiner Coat of Arms Stone" ?).

These stone is so called because it is shown in the arms/flag of Bansin. At this boulder coastal decline was measured. The first time the boulder stone was discovered in 1908 in the cliff. Currently, the stone is already over 60 meters in the Baltic Sea, which is the island of Usedom is smaller in this area.

Here is a text copy of the cache, is described in some of the formation ....:

"The glaciers of the Weichselian before 20,000 years ago reached its greatest extent. The ice receded in stages and stayed for a short time on a line of complaints to Usedom. The tongues of the glacier formed during their retreat etc. the east coast of Rügen and the present landscape of Usedom. Due to numerous glacial movements, was built on the north-east and Usedom in the space thus Bansin, the very moving relief of a severe crush-moraine.

After the retreat of the glaciers put an island between the remaining cores sedimentation processes. By erosion of these nuclei and deposits of their material was formed gradually a balance coast. Through the various exogenous forces (wind, water, gravity) since the outer coast is constantly changing. For example, wear off during a storm, the flood wave material. Due to the resulting surf rod grooves for the upper layers continuously.

The transformations that take place on the coast under the influence of the sea, were determined by assembly and disassembly. The cliffs provide the material (usually sand) that carries the flow near the coast. Each of the east island seeds, it is redeposited. The island cores originally came from even further against the sea than it is today, but were again removed at various points and as deposited into nearby creeks. Thus was formed the balance of the island of Usedom. This dynamic coastal processes on the Langen Berg are long pending."

Today we visited the Baltic Sea at the Island Usedom to show your Blue Magpie our beautiful home.
Here you can see one of the longest piers in continental Europe (508 m) in Heringsdorf, an ancient fishing village and now one of the biggest tourist destinations on the island.
As always, we had our two dogs "Fortuna" and "Sam", that are half of the "Team Vineta" here.
