Canoe tour on the Spree from Fürstenwalde to Erkner

After a short stretch on the canalized Spree, you turn into the Müggelspree at the Große Tränke. Downstream, your canoe now floats very pleasantly thanks to the gentle current through the winding area with extensive willows on the created floodplains. These create particularly romantic images in the rising mist in the early morning.You cover the first kilometers via Hangelsberg, Mönchwinkel, and Spreeau on the narrow Spree here. At the end of this relaxed tour day, you dock in Spreenhagen or set up your tent near the Jägerbude campsite directly on the Spree. From there, the next day you reach the popular Dämeritzsee in the middle of Erkner.
