The gravel RWY was perfect although narrow with little space left outward of the main gear ;-)
Sorry to read of the prop strike… I had missed that originally. That’s a big problem so far from base. However, these things happen, which is why many pilots avoid grass airfields of unknown condition. From what I hear, insurers usually prefer to return the aircraft by truck, to where they can have control over it.
The text was kindly written by my copilot Philipp Kujumdschiev in german and machine translated to english by deepl.com so I apologize for the language. But many thanks Philipp!
The translation is very good.

The 182 is being ferried to Switzerland by lorry next week with detached wings so maintenance will take place here.

Was there a happy ending to the propstrike?
Two guys from the club who owns the C182 drove to Kaliningrad by lorry and got the wings off and loaded the airplane on the truck and took it back to Switzerland for repair.
