To finally take a look at Fürstenwalde an der Spree and not least the dog park in the area Hundeauslaufplatz Kleine Tränke, following this map – more or less.

The dog park turned out to be a lovely space, large and pretty and a section of normal forest fenced in. Plenty of opportunity for dogs to disappear out of sight and do their own thing for a little while (slightly unnerving, but Max is great at doubling back to check in with me at very regular intervals, and I did not even get to use the whistle today). It is also completely quiet, so next time, I will bring lunch, coffee and a book :-).

Here is a video of Max frolicking.

We walked there from the station through a large park, and afterwards we walked along the river, past the lock, though Fürstenwalde old town and back to the station. Max was restless both ways on the train. I guess we do not do this kind of thing often enough.

It was a very pleasant day out, despite the mist, and we ended up walking a total of nearly 15 km.
