May 3, 2025,Fontane-Weg – Brücke über das Neue Fließ Runde von Burg (Spreewald)

Today I was out in a completely different area, namely the beautiful Spreewald Forest. This beautiful hike began and ended at the Burg Zur Therme (Bushst. Burg Zur Therme). The hike was on the way from Fontane through Burg - Kaupen. The route always runs along the canals and streams, or you cross them. Lovely little cozy restaurants and the …

Day 5 in Lübben - at 10:00 am I was released from the clutches of the therapists and was able to drive to Burg. The Fontane hiking trail was calling ... humid and humid weather and lots of asphalt awaited me, but also some drizzle, some very nice single trails and informative boards about Fontane and the Spreewald.

The season in the Spreewald is now over and peace has returned. We therefore hardly met anyone on our hike. The tour still had a lot to offer: a walk-in goat enclosure with goats in need of cuddles, a bright yellow ginkgo tree (I never noticed it in summer 😅) and a small petting zoo at the Landhotel Burg. Part …

At the end of our holiday week in the Spreewald we walk in the footsteps of Theodor Fontane, more precisely on the Fontaneweg.
It starts at the Spreewaldhafen Waldschlößchen in Burg Kauper. The varied path leads along extensive meadows, lonely farms and past countless streams. On the way there are many boards with explanations of fauna and flora as well …

Today, after a weekend in Cottbus, I hiked the Fontaneweg in the Spreewald near Burg, which I had planned about 3 years ago. It was an approx. 10 km long hike on the well-marked Fontaneweg, which was redesigned in 2019 (on the occasion of Theodor Fontane's 200th birthday). It was a beautiful hike, mostly on easy-to-walk natural paths, but unfortunately …
