The Oberspreewald extends between Lübben, Straupitz and Vetschau in the south. It is about 300 kilometers big and emergence historically a part of the Glogau Baruth glacial valley. It marks the line of the furthest ice venture in the time of the Vistula icing-up approximately 20,000 years ago with that.

Sorbian Easter eggs are ornamented richly. Different techniques get applied for this. Wax technology is probably best known and oldest technique.
The egg is regarded as a fertility and growth symbol since the past. Decorated eggs were and are given away with pleasure at Easter, so that the person who gets the egg gets the vitality being inherent. The oldest mention of Sorbian Easter eggs is from the time at 1700.

A diversified flowing labyrinth invites the water hiker to find out the most beautiful spots of the Spreewald with the canoe. It enters special water trail maps and a signposting find the way better to this with waters names the flows in the labyrinth. You receive Maps at the canoe lender.

Before you can start discover the Spreewald on your own, you should consider some codes of behaviour in the biopshere reserve:

• Avoid shore areas, use attached entry- and exit places
  
  
• Do not pick and damageg any plants
  
  
• Consider inhibition unifier flows for conservation reasons
  
  
• Paddle only until an hour after sunset to not disturb night active animals
  
  
• Consider approaching or passing rowing boats
  
  
• Consider direction sign for the operation of the sluices
  
  
• Avoid driving  flatly flows
  
  
• Avoiding noise
  
  
• Ban on engines at canoes and kayaks
  
  
• Ban on throwing litter away

The colour range of the skirts (Kosula, the skirt) of the special day dress is huge.

The pastel-coloured silk scarf (Cypjel) is around enclosed in the shoulders at a dress. It is also embroidered with flower tendrils and in addition edged with a tulle top.

The main source of the Spree lies in Neugersdorf, a small town in the Lausitzer hilly scenery, near the limit to the Czech Republic. She passes through the heath and pond landscape between Bautzen and Spremberg, flows through Cottbus and leads on over Beeskow and Fürstenwalde to Berlin.

In the region of Burg the Hauptspree (Main Spree) divides in more than 350 channels, and ditches which where created also by man partly.

Because of the partly considerable differences in altitude between the channels agree to overcome some sluices in case of your journey which are operated into self-service. Children and teenagers who improve their pocket-money that way will helpfully suit you aside from time to time. This has tradition and you should not consider it annoying. Sometimes a small rhyme is presented for you.

The Unterspreewald extends in the northern part of the Spreewald, around Schlepzig. It arose when the glaciers already were on the retreat and is 100km ² big.
