What it is
The Lübben round trip by punt, the one even locals take to see their town from the water. You leave from the Schlossinsel harbour and go down the main Spree beside the stretch of town wall that is still standing; along the Schlangengraben canal you pass in front of the castle, and you cross three locks: the Spittelarche in the Hain, the Lehnigksberg one and the Strandcafé one. The best part is the Hain, some 25 hectares of riverside woodland in the very centre of town. On board you try Spreewald pickles.
How it works
It leaves every day from April to October from 10:30, from harbour 1 at Ernst-von-Houwald-Damm 15 or from harbour 2 on Lindenstraße; from November to March, on request. €18 for adults and €8 for under-12s. The boats have tables and benches, and one has a lifting platform for wheelchairs. Commentary is in German.
Tips
- Leave early First thing, the Hain is silent.
- Ask for the adapted boat If you travel in a wheelchair, say so when you book.
