Understand

The Spreewald (Spree Forest) includes low-lying areas in which the river Spree meanders in thousands of small waterways through meadows and forests. It is a beautiful, unique landscape about one hour south of Berlin and well worth a day trip or a weekend trip to relax from the buzzing city life.

Besides its exquisite nature and the Spreewald is home to one of the two recognized minorities in Germany and the Sorbs with their unique culture. Many old, traditional farmhouses along the waterways offer beautiful sights.
