Duration: 11 h
Firstly we will visit to the Spreewald which also known as "the Green Venice", represents a unique natural landscape with its extensive network of small rivers measuring around 970 km in length. The Spreewald Biosphere Reserve which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a popular destination for visitors looking for rest and relaxation in nature.Old half-timbered houses and small island farmsteads stand on the natural waterways which are called "Fließe" in the Spreewald. The main town area is called Lubbenau and many of the inhabitants are descendants of the original settlers in the region, who are Slavic tribes of the Wends/Sorbs. These people have preserved many of their customs, traditional language and clothing to the present day, making it an interesting cultural experience to observe.  Discover the typical crafts and learn more about the culture and tradition of the Spreewald while on an unforgettable journey of adventure through the towns and villages of the Spreewald. Next we will visit  to Freilandmuseum Lehde by crossing a scenic wooden bridge that straddles two canals. Freilandmuseum Lehde is the oldest open-air museum in Brandenburg. Where you will have an opportunity to step back in time to discover what life was like during the 19th-century in the Spreewald. Freilandmuseum Lehde has an interesting origin story. The first historical museum in the region opened in 1950 in Lubbeneau’s country hall grounds in what was previously a court house. In the exhibition of 1950 curators had assembled a “Spreewald room,” featuring furnishings, costumes and cultural artifacts. As the history and unique lifestyle became more captivating to tourists, the idea came about to put the entire village of Lehde under a protection order. In May 1957 the Lehde stable house first opened to the public. Today, Freilandmuseum Lehde features four complete farmyards, representative of the building and living conditions in the Spreewald during the 18th-century. The ethnographic open-air museum in Lehde continues to remain dedicated to preserving and celebrating the folk architecture, culture and lifestyle of the Spreewald. Next we will visit to Rakotzbrücke, or the Devil’s Bridge, is an iconic arched bridge located in the picturesque Kromlau Park which was built in 1860, which makes it about 150 years old.  The arched bridge is designed to create a perfect circle when it reflects in the still waters below. It’s also known as the Devil’s Bridge due to the belief that the magical circle must be the hands of the devil. The bridge itself is adorned with spiked rocks at either end which gives it an otherworldly feel and the architecture and leafy surroundings simply add to the devilish look! Next we will visit to the Muskau castle is known for its extended park, the Muskau Park, which is a World Heritage Site . The building complex was developed over a long period. The present main building, called New Palace, was built in the 19th century in Neo-Renaissance style. Muskau Park is the largest and one of the most famous English gardens in Central Europe, stretching along both sides of the German-Polish border on the Lusatian Neisse. Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau – bohemian, travel writer and landscape gardener of great renown – designed Muskauer Park, one of the most beautiful landscaped gardens in the world, in the early 19th century. Covering around 830 hectares, it is made up of a number of smaller parks on either side of the German-Polish border, each with its own character. What is considered so successful about the park is the way in which the individual, differently structured areas are connected by sweeping vistas and winding paths. The integration of the natural course of the river Neisse, which flows through Lusatia, with the man-made canal (called ‘Hermann’s river Neisse’), is also regarded as a masterpiece. Other attractions in this garden kingdom include the Old Castle, a tropical glasshouse, the Kavaliershaus, the spa park and hillside park, the orangery and the English Bridge, a historical footbridge over the Neisse that has been destroyed several times but was faithfully reconstructed. If you cross over the bridge, you’ll suddenly find yourself in Poland. After we return to Berlin.
