description

The Spreewald is a unique cultural landscape in the heart of Europe. The special feature is its countless rivers, which form an extensive water labyrinth and provide a characteristic flora and fauna. Due to its flat landscape profile and its very well developed cycle paths, there is pure cycling fun. In addition to the impressive nature, four castles form the historical framework. As a highlight, you will be at the family seat of the Counts of Lynar (only in Cat. II) and experience the special magic of the Spreewald on a boat trip. Look forward to your "companion", the cycling cucumber!

Afterwards we pass the former lignite opencast mine and through the largest contiguous pond area in Germany to the fortress town of Peitz. In the Storchendorf Dissen you will learn interesting facts about Master Adebar and the Sobs before you reach the scattered settlement Of Burg. Overnight castle.

 

Day 3: Burg - Lübben approx. 33-62 km / 21-39 miles 

With the varied tour through the "Venice of the East" you can start your tour today and expand it by 35 km. From the castle you cycle to Straupitz, where the imposing Schinkelkirche and the Triple Dutch Mill are waiting for you. Try the healthy Straupitzer linseed oil. Continue through a vast forest and meadow landscape to Lübben, the gateway to the Unterspreewald. In Lübben Castle, the coat of arms hall is worth seeing and the castle island invites you to linger and relax. Overnight lübben or Unterspreewald.

 

Day 4: Lübben - Lübbenau approx. 47-65 km / 29-40 miles

From Lübben you cycle through a beautiful pond landscape to Schlepzig, the most beautiful village in the Unterspreewald. Many sights such as the Farmers' Museum, a brewery and distillery, a small ferry port and the visitor centre of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve can be visited. Afterwards, a detour to Lake Köthener see is a good way for all bathing enthusiasts, before it goes back to Lübben through the Marecan pine forest. Along the Spree, Lübbenau is no longer far away, where you will meet the colourful market at the Great Harbour. Overnight schloss Lübbenau.

 

Day 5: Day of rest or tour Lübbenau, approx. 21 km / 13 miles

In the secret capital of the Spreewald, a relaxing day of rest or a small bike ride around Lübbenau awaits you today. On a 2-hour boat trip through the Hochwald you will experience the Spreewald from its most beautiful side. You should also plan some time for Lehde, the pocket-sized lagoon village (Fontane). In the Cucumber Museum, everything revolves around the well-known Spreewald vegetables, which you can also taste there. In the open-air museum, on the other hand, time seems to stand still and you immerse yourself in the life of the Sorbs in the 19th century. Overnight as the day before.
