Things to do in Burg, Spreewald

Leave behind the hustle and bustle of Berlin and step into a world of natural beauty, culture, and tradition on this one-day tour to the enchanting Spreewald Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-protected landscape just an hour south of the capital. This stunning region, where the Spree River branches into a maze of serene waterways, is home to dense forests, charming villages, and a unique way of life that has been preserved for centuries. Our journey takes us to the historic town of Lübbenau, the gateway to the Spreewald. Here, we will embark on a leisurely two-hour boat ride in a traditional flat-bottom punt, gliding through the tranquil canals of this fairytale-like setting. As we drift past lush greenery and wooden houses, an expert boatman will guide us through the natural wonders of the region. Midway through our boat ride, we will stop in 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 charming scenery, or visit the Open-Air Museum of the Sorbian Village (optional, entrance fee not included). This museum offers an insightful glimpse into the traditions, customs, and history of the Sorbian people, a Slavic minority group who have lived in the region for centuries. After our visit to Lehde, we return by boat to Lübbenau, where you will take a 30-minute walk through the historic town, following an audio guide. You will then have free time to explore further or enjoy lunch at a traditional restaurant (not included in the tour price). In the afternoon, we begin our comfortable return journey to Berlin, filled with wonderful memories of this unique experience in the heart of Germany’s natural and cultural heritage.
