Liberated East was really nice, because there was no urban sprawl. People lived in multistory houses in middle of nowhere. I bicycled around and camped wherever. Place is probably much worse nowadays with too many cars and parking lots.

I totally forgot: I was not bicycling, I was roller-skating (& camping) in East Germany: https://youtu.be/EJISUjbk46E?si=8rFkUf9FdaY60O8c

In case someone feels like inspired by this: beware that by default, camping outside camp grounds is generally prohibited almost anywhere in Germany.

Not in Brandenburg (around Berlin)! Overnight, non-motorised wild camping is allowed, but it certainly isn't widespread.
