Wonderful hike in the Spreewald, Brandenburg.
A wonderful hike in the typical Spreewald landscape. Start is at the "Kleiner Hafen" ("Little Harbour") in Lübbenau.
Depending on the time of year, bittersweet nightshade or the red flowers of the purple loosestrife can be discovered along the way. The rich fauna of the Spreewald also accompanies the hike.
The destination is the Wotschofska inn. It is nice to stop here for a bite to eat before setting off to the starting point. The country lane to the inn - this hiking trail - was built in 1911. However, the inn has been here on the "Erleninsel" ("Alder island")(from the Wendish "wotso" - alder) since 1894.
