Spreewald, named a UNESCO biosphere reserve back in 1991, is known for its picturesque 187 sq. miles of canals that are used for traditional irrigation, and the natural organic products these canals and surrounding areas produce. If you’re currently thinking of a little Venice meets fairytale forest, you’ve got the right idea. Together we enjoy the romantic atmosphere of the Spreewald on a typical punting tour. We’ll float past idyllic farmhouses and villages. The flat-bottomed river boats work on skill and sweat instead of a motor. A very long pole called ‘Rudel’, which double serves as a rudder, is used to navigate the unspoiled river system. We also take the chance to taste Spreewald specialities like the famed gherkins.
