I can type a whole story about some strange weather that day and no mobilephone connection around this lost Russian (sorry...Soviet) millitary base, but I keep it short:
Most interesting place I've ever visited in and around Berlin/Brandenburg!!!
Totally lost it...
Before I forget to mention it: next to a millitary base, it was also a complete Soviet village and (most of all) a top secret nuclear missile storage facility and launching site.
Maybe that's the reason my GPS went completely bezerk that day...

KEEP IN MIND:
- Bring some food/drinks with you, there's no späti nearby
- It's easier to bike to and around the base
- This former Soviet ground is HUGE!

I saw a bumper sticker this weekend that made me think for a minute. Baseball reference? Cricket reference? Paintball? Oh yea, now I remember.
As you can see.. this army base is, 'oh so' modern and well equiped.. well.. not really. I found it really interesting considering the bases I've been onto here in South Korea and of course back home in NZ. They really don't have much in Mongolia.
