Continuing my cycling odyssey, I traversed the rolling hills of Brandenburg, encountering poignant reminders of Germany's past at the Berlin Wall memorials. Crossing into Poland, the scenery shifted to verdant forests and serene lakes. In Międzyrzecz, the Międzyrzecki Rejon Umocniony revealed Poland's wartime legacy through its vast fortifications. Emerging from the bunkers, the beauty of Lake Międzyrzecz provided solace amidst the echoes of history.
