You can also experience a lot in Germany! The Spreewald biosphere reserve is a unique natural landscape and, with its 1575-kilometre network of natural and artificial waterways, offers you the chance to go on a great trip without having to fly halfway around the world. Whether it's a weekend trip or a short vacation - everything is possible there.
In this article I would like to give you now our experiences with paddling in the Spreewald and valuable tips for canoeing on site. Let's go!
For info: This article is from the CareElite archive and has been completely revised 🙂
Boat rental for canoeing in the Spree Forest
Like you (presumably), we also first had to think about a sustainable search engine for more information about a suitable Canoe rental in the Spreewald informed.
In our case, this was directly in Lübbenau, where you usually start. Friends gave us the Boat rental Franke which we can also definitely recommend to you.
On Google Maps you will find a large parking lot right next to the rental shop. Parking lot. However, it costs just under 5 euros for the day. Alternatively, you can park for free on Dammstraße and drive a little closer to the Franke boat rental.
We can give you a tip from our own experience, relatively early in the morning and not just turn up at the canoe rental shop shortly before lunchtime. Because when the weather is great, all the canoes can be sold out. From Berlin, you can expect a journey time of around 1-1.5 hours.
Route & Map for the Canoe Tour in Spreewald
The boat rental company will also provide you with a laminated card of the Spreewald's many canals. Depending on how long you want to paddle in the Spreewald, you can then choose a suitable route. Both the main Spree and the individual canals are very quiet, so you can paddle in both directions at your leisure.
Experiences with paddling in the Spreewald
The formalities are settled! Everyone gets a paddle and off we go! We have decided on the tour that about 4 hours time takes up. Of course, you can also spend longer on the channels.
With the canoe through the Spreewald
We don't want to spoil the excitement here, but this much can be said: it is simply fantastic to experience this unique and almost deserted nature for yourself. It is still intact here!
On the river side Beaver their castle, Fish jump in the water and over the entire canoe trip you can see the Birdsong and many others Sounds of nature enjoy.
Head for restaurant in Spreewald by canoe
The duration of the entire canoe trip can be extended if you get lost in the restaurant halfway through. For vegetarians and vegans like us, however, the choice is still quite sparse. We have Fried potatoes and although it wasn't on the menu, there were a few pieces of bacon on the menu. The clocks tick a little differently there, but that's no big deal if you know in advance 😉
Tip: Just look around a bit more in the Nature Travel Blog around. I am constantly uploading new experiences from Germany's nature there - because you can experience a lot here too 😉.
Paddling in the Spreewald? Worth a trip!
Do you fancy canoeing in the Spreewald now? We will definitely do it again. On the one hand, because it's simply Incredible fun makes. And secondly, because there are simply hundreds of channels and correspondingly many Different routes gives.
Paddling in the Spreewald has shown us once again, how easy it can be in Germany tooexperience nature up close.
By the way, you can also with your own canoe or your own stand-up paddle board* try it. But make sure you get a water hiking map and only launch your vessel at the designated boat launching points.
