Mountain #4 - Helpter Berge

With 179m by far higher then Müggelberg and the ascent is quite difficult to find and not the wilderness and remoteness were the challenge but to keep all the mosquitoes from stinging was a full time task. A few more kilometers north to Star Camp Cosa.

Mountain #3 - Müggelberg

Slow start due to closed roads and railway barriers that did not open for 30min. Müggelberg was tricky, the first summit is only fake, follow the ridge to the main summit. More than 50% of 125km citylike traffic. Camping at a lake close to Wandlitz.

Mountain #2 Kutschenberg

Not a giant with 201m, but the Kutschenberg is technical more difficult as the Fichtelberg. Passing through Brandenburg, lots of windmills replacing the coal? 152km to a campsite at Tonsee.
