International Meteor Conference 2003

From Brandenburg to Bollmannsruh

An illustrated road description

Coming from the A 2 you reach the town Brandenburg from the South driving on the B 102. After the B 1 junction, a bridge crosses the railway tracks. Then you enter the town. We made this tour for you recently and add some images which may be helpful as we recommend a short route through the center and across the Dom island. Here are the photos and the hints:
This is the first sign still before the city is reached. The right lane is yours...
The white signs clearly hint at "Zentrum" and "Dom" to the right.
Just a few meters later another sign announces that the right lane takes you to the "Zentrum" and "Dom".
The right lane goes straight ahead into town.
About half a kilometer later: the centre. Your correct decision here - turn right. (There is no sign at this crossing and it may look a little different as construction work goes on here.)
A somewhat tricky place about 100 m after the right turn - the main road is left of the house. A bit later you see a part of the river Havel to the right.
Just to let you know that all is correct: you now approach the "Dom" island with the old church (the "Dom").
Straight ahead at the next traffic light. (Here the traffic from the circumfering ring road joins our route.)
A little uphill, just before a bridge across the Havel river this sign announces "Butzow" and "Segelflugplatz". Be prepared to turn left about 50 m behind the bridge, immediately behind the red and yellow house. Be aware that there is no further sign there.
Now you are in a quiet and rural area. Take your time for this last part of the journey! Here you should turn right (direction Gortz). The next village is Butzow - just follow the main road.
In the village Gortz follow the road to Päwesin to the right. Here you find also a sign indicating "Bollmannsruh".
Bollmannsruh follows after a few kilometers, the last of them through a forest. If you see the end of this, you made it! The conference site is just 100 m from the road to the right. (Don't mix it up with the Hotel Bollmannsruh just behind our conference site.)
