== Uckermark, [[Germany]] ==

The place is about 100km North of [[Berlin]] & belongs to a friend. Nobody lives there, it's basically just a piece of land with an old stable on it. It has seen quite a few large parties. There should be enough space for a couple hundred tents<br>
Located at the edge of a small village, right nearby a lake where we can swim.
Water & electricity can probably be obtained from the neighbors.

The area (Uckermark) is very calm, many people have been moving away to the cities, but Berliners come here to find a quiet reatreat. <br> There are countless nice lakes & clear night skies all around. There should be quite a few dumpsters within 20-30km.

If there is some interest in having the gathering here, I will ask the owner.
