The Spreewald is known as the “green lung” of Brandenburg, a region surrounding Berlin. This forested paradise bears a resemblance to tales from the Brothers Grimm and is recognized as a UNESCO protected biosphere. Thousands of man-made waterways traverse idyllic meadows lined with historic houses that remain largely unchanged since the formation of modern Germany. Conveniently located just an hour southeast of Berlin, and accessible by car or train, the Spreewald is the perfect retreat from urban life.
