Spree

Uniquely beautiful as the Spree runs around Schlepzig

Beautiful fishing area

Anyone paddling on the Spree from Leibsch towards Schlepzig will pass through one of the region's most beautiful and at the same time most tranquil stretches near Groß Wasserburg. Here, the river meanders through the Wasserburger Spreewald nature reserve – a place where the landscape breathes a sigh of relief.The Spree is narrow, shallow, and crystal-clear in this section. The river meanders through meadows and floodplain forest, past dense reed beds, willows, and small oxbow lakes. In summer, dragonflies flutter above the water, and in autumn, colorful treetops reflect on the surface – a picture-perfect stretch for nature lovers.Water hikers benefit from the tranquility: there are no motorboats here, the current is gentle, and orientation is usually clear. Those who wish can briefly land – flat meadows along the banks are ideal for a rest. However, there is no infrastructure – no jetty, no trash can, no kiosk. Instead, there is all the more peace, birds, and a picture-perfect landscape.
