A special magic lies over this region. When banks of mist lie over dark streams and only the cracking of the trees breaks the silence, the door to another world opens: Spreewald‘s mythical world.

The “Lutki” dwarves live there as do the merman, lady midday and the snake king. They are mostly well disposed towards people and add a mystical splendour to your Spreewald holiday.

The devil incarnate once hitched two large black oxen to his yoke in order to break open the river Spree bed. But the animals did not obey and pulled to the right and then to the left. The devil lost his patience and retreated to hell shouting in anger. The oxen continued their chase, incessantly ploughing hundreds of furrows, until they too INFO disappeared and left behind...Spreewald! Spreewald, a devilish masterpiece ...
