BUCKOW
(MÄRKISCHE SCHWEIZ)

Buckow wurde erstmals 1253 urkundlich erwähnt.
In den vergangenen Jahrhunderten waren Hopfenanbau, Bierbrauerei und Rosenzucht Haupterwerb der Menschen. Ab 1897 bekam die Stadt mit der Inbetriebnahme der Kleinbahn Müncheberg-Buckow ihre eigentliche Bestimmung als Fremdenverkehrsort. Buckow mit seiner landschaftlich reizvollen Umgebung und seinem besonderen Klima wurde ein beliebter Luftkur- und Erholungsort und ist seit 2003 staatlich anerkannter Kneipp-Kurort. Buckow, am Fluss Stobber gelegen und von mehreren Seen umgeben, zählt ca. 1600 Einwohner und ist der Hauptort des Naturpakes "Märkische Schweiz".

Bath

Roman Bath

The Roman Bath: Romans developed the present site of Bath soon after they landed in Britain in AD43. The water is an ancient rain which fell about 10,000 years ago and penetrated deep into the earth, rising when it had been warmed by the heat of the earth's core and re-appeared to the surface by the temperature of 46.5c.
バースの温泉は約10,000年前にちかくのメンデイップ丘隆に降った雨が地中深く潜り高温に加熱されて再び地上に摂氏45.6度の温度となり吹き出したものである。ローマ人AD43年に上陸後直ちにこの場所に温泉の建築が開始された。
