"Maie" Blüte im Spreewald 2026
Leicht. Kamske wieder frei und gut befahrbar; Umsetzstelle im Südumfluter erneuert, Brücke gerade so ohne Schwierigkeiten passierbar. Ausstieg Schleuse katastrophal. Kaum Touristen trotz bestem Wetter. Traubenkirsche kurz vor der Hochblüte. Fledermäuse bei Tag im Hochwald. Endlich wieder Eisvögel!
5 Schleusen, 1× Umtragen

Heroic end to a successful paddling year in 2025: 420 km!
A good time, maximum speed was the order of the day due to the approaching darkness!
The Kleines Fließ/Nordfließ connector was borderline silted up; otherwise, clear passage, all fallen trees cleared. I actually wanted to try the Fünfte Fließ, but

"You can do it, but you don't have to!" or "What isn't forbidden is allowed!": North Stream above Hotel Eiche: 2 weirs, with a low bridge in between. Portage on the left. Straupitzer Buschmühle weir is difficult, but not impossible; keep to the right. Connection to the Große Fließ (Great Stream) is not

The southern bypass behind Burg is more than adventurous. The Little Spree is essentially unnavigable in the village of Burg, and portaging is very difficult. Beyond the ditch where it joins, portaging is possible.
Conclusion: Yes, the Little Spree is navigable, but only downstream. Good up to the Fischerflie

The Little Spree, as always, is flat and has a strong current: the Rohrkanal and Mittelkanal would definitely have been the better route. Portaging at the distribution weir and later at the Grosser Fließ is difficult, but doable. The Nordfließ/Umleiter (Northern Flow) is much better, this one quite flat

Polenzoa has been closed to paddlers since this year! The northern floodplain and Spree below Lübben up to the Ragow lock are not very scenic but (almost) deserted.
Kamske is difficult: One bridge is borderline low, and transferring to the southern floodplain is challenging due to the unusually high water

Entry into the Fifth Stream (also known as the Jeschukofließ) is not possible due to private bridges being too low. The water level in the middle section is 20 to 30 cm lower: As a result, the shallow streams are difficult to navigate upstream.
