The Spreewald, with its wealth of natural and man-made treasures, is a unique landscape of nature and culture. Shaped by the labyrinth of 450 waterways, the way of life of its people, their history, and traditions, this region unfolds a special charm. The book, richly illustrated with many photos, invites readers to hiking tours and takes them through various regions of the Spreewald. It includes visits to the Krausnicker Mountains with their heath lakes and the largest kettle bog in Brandenburg. The Hochwald - the "pearl of the Upper Spreewald" - and the Schwielochsee are also explored. Equally impressive are the Spreewald villages and architectural monuments. The book guides readers to the lagoon village of Lehde, the monumental Schinkel Church, and the unique Dutch windmill in Europe, a fully functional triple windmill located in Straupitz.
