Full description
Leave the bustle of Berlin behind and immerse yourself in a world of natural beauty, culture and tradition on this day trip to the enchanting Spreewald Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-protected landscape just an hour's drive south of the capital. This stunning region, where the Spree River branches into a labyrinth of serene waterways, is home to lush forests, charming villages and a unique way of life that has been preserved throughout
over the centuries.
Our journey will take us to the historic town of Lübbenau, the gateway to the Spreewald. Here we'll take a leisurely two-hour cruise on a traditional flat-bottomed boat, gliding through the calm canals of this fabulous place. As we drift past lush greenery and wooden houses, an experienced boatman guides us through the natural wonders of the region.
Halfway through our boat trip we will stop at the picturesque village of Lehde - a hidden gem where time seems to stand still. You will have the opportunity to explore at your own pace, enjoy the enchanting landscapes or visit the Open Air Museum of the Sorbian Village (optional, entrance fee not included). This museum invites you to get acquainted with the traditions, customs and history of the Sorbs - a Slavic minority who
has been living in this region for several centuries.
After visiting Lechde, we will return by boat to Lübbenau, where you will take a 30-minute walk through the historic city, following an audio guide. You will then have free time to explore the city further or enjoy lunch in a traditional restaurant (not included in the tour price).
In the afternoon we will begin our comfortable journey back to Berlin, filled with wonderful memories of this unique experience in the heart of Germany's natural and cultural heritage.
