Water labyrinth Spreewald

Canoeists are delighted by a primeval nature that sometimes reminds one of the Everglades. Over 300 kilometers of navigable waterways combine in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve to form a blue labyrinth. Picturesque villages are hidden between the sparse forests, where the Sorbian inhabitants still maintain their traditions to this day.Length / Duration: 42 km (2-3 days)Start: Port Burg (Spreewald)Destination: SchlepzigArrival:Public Transport: From Berlin Hauptbahnhof take the RE2 to Cottbus, from here take bus 47 to Burg (Spreewald) (approx. 2 hours).Car: From Berlin take the A13 to Burg (Spreewald) (approx. 1.5 hours).Departure:Public Transport: From Schlepzig take bus 506 to Lübben, from here take the RE2 (Witteneberge) to Berlin Hauptbahnhof (approx. 1.5 hours).Car: From Schlepzig take bus 506 to Lübben, from here take bus 500 to Burg (Spreewald) to your car (approx. 1 hour).Route: Burg (Spreewald), Leipe, Lehde, Lübbenau, Lübben, SchlepzigShore Leave:Lübbenau/Spreewald: Spreewald MuseumLehde: Spreewald Village: Pickle MuseumLübben (Spreewald): CastleSchlepzig: Agricultural History MuseumNautical Information: Unique water labyrinth, 300 km of navigable waterways.
