| During our 2007 visit to Germany, Volker's daughter Julia gave us a tour of her home town Blankensee, a nice village about 12 miles south of Potsdam. |

We made a couple of stops on our way to Blankensee (above). And here we are right in the center of town (below). |

The Blankensee (Derived from the Slavonic word Lanka = muddy and the German word See = lake), and the Nieplitz River. Blankensee might be tiny (it only has 543 inhabitants), but it has its own castle, a mansion built in 1740. |

Wikipedia. This little village sure ha a lot to offer. |
The towns oldest house, now a museum,built in 1649. |
The Church is even older,built in the 1300s. |
