1 The Bismarck Tower in Burg 2 Burg in the Spreewald … feel well naturally 3 Dissen /Dêsno 4 Ports in Burg 5 Heimatstube Burg (Spreewald) The 27m-high lookout tower on the fabled Schlossberg, a pre- and protohistoric rampart, was built in 1915–17. It offers a wide view of the Spreewald landscape, and as Burg’s landmark is a popular excursion destination. The unique setting of the Schlossberg, which is surrounded by enchanting natural scenery, is the scene for exceptional events such as the “Spreewald Night of Fables” and the ”Night of the Pumpkin Ghosts”, with impressive lighting and pyrotechnical effects. (Apr.-Oct. daily 10 am to 6 pm) Anyone who wants to escape from the pressures of everyday life will find their nirvana in the health resort of Burg (Spreewald), in the heart of the UNESCO Spreewald Biosphere Reserve. Visitors to the town appreciate the magic of the Spreewald landscape, the myriad ways in which to enjoy the fresh air, and the luxury of the slower pace of life. Burg is a place in which to experience something special, to marvel at the wonderful costumes and traditions, to learn about almost forgotten handicrafts or to immerse oneself in the Spreewald’s legends during the Spreewald Night of Fables at Whitsun. “Dissen would just be a normal village if it weren’t for the many stork nests, the beautiful halftimbered church and the marvellous local-history museum ...”, wrote a journalist once. Dissen in fact has other interesting sights, including Stary Lud – a Slavic Middle Ages settlement, the Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Garden, and the rehabilitated Spree flood-plain, which can also be explored on guided bike tours. At one time rivers served as roads in Burg, and wooden boats were the main means of transport. Today, a boat trip is a must for every visitor. Besides the traditional punt, visitors can opt for all-year themed boat trips that allow them to gain individual impressions of the Spreewald – including on the sensory barge, a moonlight boat trip, an exciting murder-mystery boat trip, and a fireside or mulled-wine boat trip in the winter. The starting points for the trips are the numerous ports and boathouses in Burg. The Heimatstube Burg is a small but impressive museum housed in a thatched log cabin typical of the Spreewald. It provides an interesting insight into Burg, its history and its legends, including church history, traditional crafts, and Sorbian/Wendish customs and costumes. Another permanent exhibition tells the story of the Spreewald narrow-gauge railway. At the traditional Heimatstube Festival in September, tradition and history are brought to life in the Dreiseitenhof next to the port. Open: Easter-Oct.: Wed-Sun 1 pm to 5 pm; Nov-Mar: Wed-Fri noon to 4 pm. Here the focus is firmly on relaxation: A cosy atmosphere, modern ambience, warmth and tranquillity ensure a relaxing stay at the heart of the UNESCO Spreewald Biosphere Reserve. The Spreewald Therme is a brine-thermal bath complex as could only be found in the Spreewald. With its unique architecture, the complex easily blends into the landscape. The valuable thermal brine arises from a depth of 1,350 meters directly beneath it in Burg. The thermal, spa, sauna and fitness offers are all authentically and unmistakably connected to the Spreewald. Calau is the birthplace of the “Kalauer” or “pun”, as in the 19th century the shoemakers who worked here used to churn out jokes and delight in the ambiguity of words. These puns spread far and wide, not least thanks to Ernst Dohm, who published them in his satirical magazine “Kladderadatsch”. As a result, the term “Kalauer” established itself in the German language as the word for “pun” and remains in use today. The Calauer Schusterjungen (Calau Cobbler Boys) invite you to explore the town and follow in the footsteps of the former shoemakers.

The Pharmacy Museum, housed in the 400-year-old Löwenapotheke, features pharmacy fittings from the 19th and 20th centuries, herb and poison chambers and medicine cellars. The Centre for Human Rights Cottbus runs the memorial prison, which was formerly the largest and most notorious political prison in East Germany. The exhibition entitled “Checked clouds: Political imprisonment in the Cottbus prison 1933 – 1989” shows typical examples of political injustice from the time of the Nazi reign of terror and the Communist dictatorship period, including reconstructed cells from different decades. Beneath the Schlossberg, the construction of an artificial moat resulted in the creation of an island, which still bears the name of Mühleninsel (Mill Island) today. In 1902/03, the first power station in Cottbus was built on the site of the Stadtmühle, which burnt down in 1882. In 1927/28, the diesel power plant was built as a second power source. It is now used as a museum of modern art and is therefore an industrial monument in active use. In the 19th century, Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871) created a landscape park in the English style in Branitz. The lake pyramid, called the Tumulus, is the prince’s burial place. The late baroque castle, with its partially-original interiors offers a largely authentic impression of princely life. The restored salons rank among the finest examples of aristocratic interior decoration. 20th century art-nouveau at its finest. Over 2,000 lamps burn in “Europe’s most beautiful artnouveau theatre”, built in 1908 on Schillerplatz, giving it a very special flair. Guided tours and the staged operas, ballets, dramas and concerts allow visitors to experience its fabulous atmosphere and admire the jewel that the citizens of Cottbus created at the heart of their city more than 100 years ago. The towers, gates and guard houses mark out the layout of the old town. The Münz and Spremberg towers stand at each end of the 1,200-m-long section of the old fortifications. The Spremberg Tower, the city’s landmark, was built in the 13th century and together with the bastion and gatehouse forms the southern gate. The pinnacle crown was added in 1823-25 according to plans by Schinkel. The Spremberg Tower is 31 metres high and is open to visitors. More than 1,200 animals of 170 different species and genera live in the magnificent parkland on the Spree river. Elephants, tigers, leopards, lynx, coatis, various monkeys, zebras, antelopes, ostriches, tapirs and a wealth of wading birds and waterfowl can all be seen here. Also included is a large domestic-animal area with a petting zoo and several playgrounds. The park railway has a stop right at the zoo.

The city impresses with its lovingly-restored old town and spacious gardens and parks created for the 2000 State Horticultural Show. The historical old town is surrounded by an 1800-mlong town wall. The Hausmann Tower with the George Chapel, the classicist town hall, and town houses with magnificently decorated renaissance gables and the Nikolai Church all bear witness to the city’s eventful history, as does the Niederlausitz Museum. Fürstlich Drehna is first mentioned in documents dating from 1477. Fürstlich Drehna is a moated castle, and was originally a mediaeval fortress that after 1560 was expanded into the current four-wing building. The park was laid out from 1807 onwards under P.J. Lenne. Expanded in 1877, in 1984 it was partially destroyed by lignite opencast mining. Today, old and new have been successfully merged to create a horticultural show-piece. This natural residual lowland forest in the town centre is particularly impressive with its rare vegetation and its around 220 oak trees up to 30 metres in height. It links Lübben’s different neighbourhoods, and with its winding paths and beautiful spots is an ideal place in which to stroll and linger. The Liuba Stone marks the spot of a Slavic place of worship. At one time the Wends worshipped the love goddess Liuba here beneath the sacred oak by praying and making sacrifices to her. The unusual mix of a mediaeval defence tower, an imposing heraldic hall and a renaissance castle give some indication as to the eventful history of the complex. Inside, the old royal seat comes back to life thanks to modern technology. Seeing, listening, touching and participating are all encouraged here. Visitors hear their ancestors speak and listen to choral music, while the castle’s treasures lie at their feet. The steeple of the late Gothic hall church has welcomed visitors to the town for centuries, and its namesake is found in ecclesiastical and secular songbooks worldwide. It has a lavish interior, with leaded windows by well-known contemporaries of Gerhardt that incorporate hymn verses. Because of this, the church is known internationally as the “Lied Church”. Visitors who climb the tower with the tower keeper will learn more about the church and enjoy a fantastic view. 21 SpreeLagune Lübben Situated in the heart of the town, the island beautifully combines trees, nature and culture. Imaginative hiking trails and adventure areas such as a labyrinth, sound garden, climbing pyramid and lawn terraces invite visitors to stroll and linger. For events such as the Lübben Punt Nights or the Island Music Summer, the Schlossinsel provides the perfect natural setting for open-air music, dance, theatre and artistry. Located between the Hauptspree and the cycling and hiking trails on the Spreedamm, the SpreeLagune with its canoe resting place, bathing area, climbing net bridge and raft crossing offers active recreation in and on the water. The Schlossinsel and town centre can be reached in just a few minutes via the longest wooden bridge in the Spreewald (barrier-free). Swimming and sunbathing in the bathing area round off the fun and relaxation to be had in the green town of Lübben.

Parents and grandparents can admire the artworks made of mud while relaxing on the greenery of the Schlossinsel. South-east of Berlin is a unique landscape in Central Europe – the UNESCO Spreewald Biosphere Reserve. The special attraction of the Spreewald lies in its park-like landscape which is criss-crossed by numerous rivers and streams. The Spreewald is a habitat that is rich in flora and fauna. In 1990 it was declared a biosphere reserve, and in 1991 was awarded UNESCO status. Besides the nine-hectare-large landscaped park, the Lübbenau castle complex comprises historical buildings such as the castle, stables, orangery and chancery. Since 1621, the estate has been owned by the Counts von Lynar. The castle encompasses a hotel, vacation residence, a restaurant, Rocco’s Linari Bar, and a park, and is now one of the most popular destinations for day-trippers and vacationers who wish to combine culture and nature. Fabulous relaxation in the sauna-world: The experience-saunas with their wood carvings in the Spreewald Sauna Village are fascinating, with 14 different SPREEWELTEN PINGUINE | BAD | SAUNA themed saunas. An original Spreewald barn with cosy rest areas is ideal for post-sauna relaxation. A tip for families visiting the Spreewelten swimming-pool: swim with penguins! In the heated outdoor pool, swimmers can observe penguins through a glass panel. An extraordinary family day out is guaranteed!

In addition, the Spreewaldbahn narrow-gauge railway is sure to delight technology fans! Take over the driver’s cab of locomotive no 995703 and make yourself comfortable in the second-class compartment dating from 1893.

A wide range of events means there is always a reason to visit. [F4] Erlebnispark Teichland Zum Erlebnispark 1, 03185 Neuendorf Tel.: +49 35601 909023, erlebnispark-teichland.de Here, wide corridors with green meadows are interspersed with dense deciduous and pine forests. The idyllic lakes are ideal for bathing and relaxing. Accommodation is available in small guest houses, apartments and camp sites. Visitors can enjoy the local cuisine and have the locals tell them about the history of their towns and villages. What makes the Märkische Heide and its small villages so popular are the peace and tranquillity they offer, and the friendliness of the local inhabitants who love their region dearly and extend a warm welcome to visitors. Straupitz is home to Europe’s last operating triple windmill with a grinding mill, oil mill and sawmill. Those who enter the mill will feel themselves transported back in time one hundred years. The wind- and engine-powered technology appears miraculous to visitors, who can watch the oil millers hard at work while listening to their explanations. They can also taste the freshly-pressed linseed oil.

Inside there is a plain pulpit altar with a triumphal-arch motif and a 17th-century life-size crucifix. In the southern graveyard there are several restored sandstone tombs from the 18th/19th centuries. The Unterspreewald is a place of natural authenticity, with dense green forests and small rivers that are ideal for boating. Visitors can embark on quiet and exciting boat trips from both villages. The history of the Sorbian village Słopišća (Schlepzig) can be traced in the Farm Museum, in the historic flour mill, in the half-timbered church, in the village itself and in the Spreewald’s oldest inn, the “Zum Unterspreewald”. With Tropical Islands the dream of a tropical island in the middle of Europe has come true. The world’s largest self-supporting hall covers an area of 66,000 square metres and is a unique holiday world – just 60 kilometres from Berlin. As of spring 2016, Tropical Islands AMAZONIA’s all-year outdoor area, extending across 35,000 square metres, will feature several swimming pools, extensive sunbathing and sports areas, numerous water attractions and recreational possibilities for the whole family. The castle was built in 1540. Despite undergoing extensive alterations over the centuries, many rooms still have cross vaults. On a guided tour, visitors are given a great deal of background information. The knights’ hall with its murals and old Steinway piano are particularly interesting. Since 2016, the coat-of-arms tree, the paintings above the fireplace and the four seasons on the side walls are on display again, having been restored to their former glory. The coach house, now used as a tourist information centre, also forms part of the castle ensemble.

This is down to its famous architect, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, according to whose plans the church was built between 1828 and 1832. Between 1655 and 1945, the Counts von Houwald owned the lordship of Straupitz. The family was instrumental in the construction and financing of the church. What makes the imposing yet unpretentious building unique is its tower. 6 Spreewald Therme - the brine bath surrounded by nature In Brandenburg’s oldest open-air museum you can find out about life in the Spreewald in the 19th century. Museum staff greet guests in typical Spreewald costumes and guide them around four historic farms from different regions of the Spreewald. Visitors can take a look inside originally decorated farmhouses, see a family bed that really was big enough for an entire family, learn fascinating details about historic crafts, or call in at the oldest punt-maker in the Spreewald In the hands-on areas in the open-air museum, the entire family can try their hand at old-fashioned chores that used to be part of everyday life, including washing sheets at the washbasin using soap and a washboard. In the cowshed, town and city children can have a go at milking, or walking in wooden clogs. Skippingropes and stilts were popular 100 years ago, and the hay-bed is the perfect place for a lie-down.
