Old Schlepzig Brewery

Highlight • Pub

The Schlepzig brewery has a hotel and a large, beautiful beer garden.
In itself a nice excursion tip and highly recommended, but unfortunately not only nice staff. You need a lot of humor for that.

Just go, get out, off to the Spreewald! 🥒🌳🥾

In the first third I discovered a tree that invited me to "hang out", with the sun and no wind in that spot I could enjoy the nature, the peace and quiet. At some point I was drawn further, in the last third the sun went down...

Spring - summer time - the sky sooo blue...
We will be picked up at Tropical Island train station. In Schlepzig, four of us embark on this beautiful tour. There are no mosquitoes (yet) and only a few cyclists.
In culinary terms, there is nothing missing in the Spreewaldgasthaus Petkampsberg gasthaus-im-spreewald.de and in the private brewery seinerzeit.de/brauerei.

The weather was just fantastic for January. Every now and then we had blue skies and a bit of …
