Spree Forest

Spree Forest

Spree Forest is the only landscape of its kind in Europe. With an amazing wealth of river scenery and a 970-km network of waterways, it attracts visitors in their droves every year. Many places offer traditional punting trips through this watery labyrinth. The numerous little island farmsteads in this ‘rural Venice’ are linked by watercourses large and small. In their 200 year-old houses, the customs and handicrafts from days gone by are still being kept alive.
