Spreewald
Spreewald
The Spreewald (Spree Forest), 100 km (60 miles) south of Berlin, is a unique landscape of pristine ancient forest, protected in a UNESCO World Natural Heritage biosphere reserve. This swamp-like area has a labyrinth of almost 1,000 km (600 miles) of waterways, of which around 400 km (240 miles) are open to paddlers. Traditionally, travelers come here to go punting, but for the more energetic, canoeing and kayaking options are also numerous. The region is famous as the home of the Sorbians, a Slavic people that settled here in the sixth century and maintained their own language and traditions centuries after the area was conquered by German groups. The picturesque towns of Lübbenau, Lübben, Lehde, and Burg are the main destinations.
