What it is

If you do not want a punt, or you take one one way and walk back, there is a footpath from Lübbenau's old town to Lehde that runs between canals and meadows, with arched wooden bridges so that the punts can pass underneath. It is flat and quiet, and you watch the punts go by from the bank.

How to do it

Leave from Lübbenau harbour, near the tourist office, and follow the signs towards Lehde. In the village you have the open-air museum and the gasthäuser beside the water. Return by the same path or by punt.

Tips

  • Go by punt and walk back That way you see the Spreewald from the water and from the bank.
