Berlin friends, if you need a break from the city but are too lazy to venture any further than an S-Bahn ride away, go to Schlachtensee! Right off the S1, it's a lovely lake in the woods near Wannsee. Considering my desire to spend more and more time in green spaces, I found it to be a perfect diversion from the techno booming city. (Well, except when a mama swan hissed at me and I wondered if I'd spend my last days in Germany utilizing my travel insurance on fowl induced injuries).
But really, go be one with nature. Bring the kids and splash around in the water. Or be like me and grab your journal and sit on the bank with your toes dipped in the water. Ahhh....
But never make eye contact with a mama swan.
