Excursions and experiences
Many other possibilities such as carriage rides, horse riding, jogging, skating, Nordic walking, as well as excursions in the surrounding area, e.g. to the Slavenburg Raddusch or the mighty open-cast mining areas. The Spreewald is also a good fishing area, as you can see. This 5 kg carp was caught right on our jetty. No, it didn't end up in the kitchen, but swam back into the Leineweberfließ.
Burg the feel-good place in the Spreewald
Fancy a dip in the Dead Sea? In one of the most idyllic landscapes in Germany, 100 km south of Berlin, lies the spa town of Burg (Spreewald) with its healing springs. It owes its title to the iodine-rich thermal brine extracted from a depth of 1350 meters. This is so richly mineralized that it can compete with the waters of the Dead Sea. Burg thus offers health-oriented visitors an extraordinary opportunity to get to know "the Dead Sea" and its benefits.
The cultural calendar is also full of traditional and unusual events every year. The centuries-old customs of the Wends and Sorbs and their fascinating legendary figures naturally play an important role here. Another highlight is the "Spreewald Legend Night" at the Bismarck Tower. Every year at Whitsun.
