The Spreewald on a grand scale: instead of the short Lübbenau punt, a whole day on a punt from Lübben to Lehde, through the high forest of Wotschofska, the wildest part of the canals. You eat in Lehde, see its wooden farmsteads and come back by water.

## The day, hour by hour

8:00 · Train to Lübben. The regional trains on the Cottbus line leave Berlin Hauptbahnhof and arrive in about an hour. Walk about 20 minutes to the Schlossinsel harbour.

9:30 · Punt towards Lehde. The Flottes Rudel boatmen set out for Lehde along the Spree and its arms. The full day is €35 (€15 for under-12s) and runs by reservation: ask for your date in advance.

12:30 · Lunch at Kaupen No. 6. An old farm by the water in Lehde, with a garden and its own mustard. Open Thursday to Sunday.

14:00 · Lehde open-air museum. Four 19th-century wooden farmsteads, with an oven and a boat workshop.

15:00 · Return by punt. Through the high forest of Wotschofska back to Lübben and its palace island.

18:00 · Train to Berlin.

## And on Sunday?

It is a good day: Kaupen No. 6 and the Lehde museum are open. The punt runs by reservation on any day of the season.

## With children

It is many hours sitting down: better with children from about eight. With little ones, swap the full-day punt for the hour-and-a-half circuit from Lübben and an afternoon at the water playground on the palace island.
