An Unusual Journey Through Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Beyond with Daniel Źródlewski
Castle ruins, ski jumps, a haunted forest, a “sacred” tree that inspired Edvard Munch, and three princesses who became powerful rulers… Sound crazy? It is—and, above all, it’s surprisingly close by!
Daniel Źródlewski, a cultural studies scholar from Szczecin, journalist, and passionate explorer of the German-Polish border region, invites you on a very special journey. Together, we’ll explore Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and its immediate neighbors in Brandenburg and West Pomerania—on the trail of unusual places, curious events, and long-forgotten stories. What do the Greifen, Edvard Munch, and Oktoberfest have in common? Where are ski jumps hidden in this northern German state? And why do you sometimes not even need a passport for real adventures? With numerous photos, exciting stories, surprising anecdotes, and a good dose of humor, Daniel Źródlewski opens up new perspectives on a region that may seem familiar to us—yet is full of secrets.
An evening at a café with pictures, stories, anecdotes, and a great atmosphere—about a region you may think you know, but have certainly never seen this way before.
