Alt Zauche Mill Tradition, bike racks, and Spreewald hospitality – a stop that stays with you Anyone traveling along the Gurkenradweg (Gherkin Cycle Path) and passing through Alt Zauche by chance (or purposefully) should definitely stop at the lovingly restored mill. The place looks almost like something out of a picture book: two large log cabins with curved roofs, dark wood on the outside, and warm hospitality on the inside. In front of it, a mighty mill wheel – today more decorative than functional, but still impressive. The mill is not a museum, but a lively inn with its own unique style. Those who take a seat outside on the wooden benches are treated to a true Spreewald experience: Spreewald beer, freshly tapped, and pickles to eat. No frills, no gimmicks, just honest food, honest prices, and honest people. The menu is down-to-earth, the service attentive but not intrusive. Those looking for regional classics will find what they're looking for. Cyclists aren't second-class guests here—quite the opposite. The bike rack area is spacious, there are shady spots, and e-bikes are also accommodated. Those who love their bikes will feel right at home here. Flowers in small vases sit on the tables, with bread baskets next to them, often with pickled cucumber slices as a greeting. The interior is rustic and cozy, while outside, the light alternates between the parasols and birch trees. The mill is ideal for both a quick stop with a drink and a longer lunch break. If you're lucky, you'll meet locals at the next table who are happy to talk about the place, the water level, and old stories. If you're unlucky, you'll encounter rain—but even then, you'll still be sitting here dry and comfortable.

Kahnsdorfer See The smallest and shallowest of the three remaining Vetschau lakes is located in the Kahnsdorf district (now Raddusch district) of the devastated village of the same name. After reaching the drainage level at 57.2 m above sea level, it will have a water surface of approx. 58 hectares and will then drain into the former settling basin via the Kahnsdorfer Feldgraben in the direction of Raddusch. In contrast to the Bischdorfer See, which is used for tourism, it will be left to itself and will thus produce its own undisturbed biodiversity.

Where time seems to stand still and history lurks in every corner, you will find the Wotschofska restaurant, a real gem in the Spreewald. Since 1890, this building has proudly stood on the island that gave it its name - a tribute to the Sorbian word for "island". In the middle of the green landscape, where waterways meander through nature like silvery ribbons, this restaurant has already hosted many a hiker, cyclist or paddler. Everyone is looking for a break from everyday life, a moment of peace and maybe a cool drink in the shade of old trees. When you arrive here, you will quickly notice that the restaurant's beer garden is a very special place. In the high season, the tables and chairs shine in bright colors, and the cheerful babble of the guests' voices mixes with the gentle rippling of the water. Here, where paddlers moor their boats and tired cyclists stretch their legs, the charm of old times merges with the lively present. It is more than just an inn. It is a meeting place, a piece of Spreewald history and certainly one of the most idyllic rest stops you will discover on your trip. So if you are looking for a place where you can unwind and immerse yourself in the past, then the Wotschofska inn is just the thing for you.
