While staying at Tangerhütte I decided to
walk out to Cobbel to visit the village as my grandfather, Louis Vetter, had
worked there as a baker in 1868 after moving from Bittkau.
The walk took me a long a path that for a
good part is over grown but I highly recommend the walk.
Albrecht Will, who lives in Tangerhütte,
told me that the path was a left over from after World War II when the tanks were
moving along here. The tracks they have
left are now been grown over and the walk is definitely not smooth.
The path also takes you past one of the
many wind farms in the Altmark
As you come in to Cobbel, you will see a
number of spargel farms, and there I went in to one of the farms (Altmark
Spargel) and saw how they prepare the asparagus for sale.
I also visited the Kirche where my family
attended back in 1868.
The village is quite nice and some of the
houses are beautiful.
Though some need a bit of help.
I started to walk back to Tangerhütte along
the road that took me through Birkholz.
Here too the feeling of the village was very
nice.
