Traditional wooden house along a canal in Lübbenau.
Introduction
The twin towns of Lübben and Lübbenau, 10 km apart, are the touristic heart of the Spree Forest, declared Biosphere Reserve by the UNESCO. The towns are crisscrossed by 400 km of canals, along which visitors are conveyed in traditional boats. The whole lot, with the wooden houses and bridges is extremely picturesque.
