Experience spaces

in the Oder-Spree Lake District

Authentic, water-rich, wide, active - natural, quiet, cultivated, relaxed.

The diverse Oder-Spree Lake District stretches east of Berlin. Hundreds of lakes, small canals, streams and of course the namesakes Oder and Spree make the lake district so unique.

The picturesque river landscapes Or and Spree offer water lovers numerous opportunities to jump into the cool water or explore the waterways by canoe and SUP.

Hiking enthusiasts will enjoy the nature parks Schlaubetal and Märkische Schweiz with wonderful paths through unspoilt and wildly romantic landscapes. In contrast, the natural and cultural landscape Oderbruch, with its impressive expanse and magnificent cultural monuments.

Directly behind the city gates of Berlin lies the Berlin area - a symbiosis of urbanity and natural refuge. From here it is only a stone's throw to the skirmish lake Region, the Märkisches Meer with maritime flair.

Oder river landscape

The Great River

The Oder landscape has its own, unmistakable character of nature and wildlife, which is characterized by a seemingly rough and at the same time attractive uniqueness. The riverside meadows and areas on the border river with Poland are untouched nature.

Oderbruch

New Expanses

The Oderbruch is a place of longing. A landscape like in a picture book. The view of the landscape often ends only at the horizon. When the sun rises deep red over the Oder and sets over the meadows at dusk, the Oderbruch shows its most beautiful side.
