In the Spreewald himself branches, the so-called the Spree into hundreds narrow branches flows. Trees put their heads about this together and little villages are on the shores. One only reaches some by boat or on foot. A good orientation possibility in the labyrinth flows this one the Hauptspree offers.

The Spree leaves between Lübbenau (Spreewald) and Lübben (Spreewald) the network core of the biopshere reserve but the lower one also promises Spreewald marvellous nature experiences. You follow the curves of the Hauptspree, himself, these branch to the meadows and deciduous woods again and again. It is into Leibsch only a stone's throw up to the Neuendorf lake. Water hikers love its bays and densely wooded shores. The Spree passes through a nature reserve on the way to it Schwielochsee after the other one. The river executes daring contortions between the hills.

Discreet old and branches which may not want to drive on everyone, though turn off again and again. You can further on the Spree paddle to the small town Beeskow or to this for Schwielochsee behind Trebatsch.

You cross the blue giant in its whole length on the last stage. You can already either go ashore on the west shore or to Goyatz depending on arm strength visit Zaue at the South Pole of the lake.. Not only the days but also the nights promise much Romanticism.
