Your journey
Drive from Berlin through Brandenburg
The A13 south from Berlin — the landscape flattens, forests begin, and within 90 minutes the Spreewald water begins to appear through the trees.
First punt boat excursion
Join a guided punt tour through the channels on arrival afternoon — the slow boat, the alder canopy, and the birdsong establish the Spreewald pace within an hour.
Thermal pool and sauna world
The spa's indoor-outdoor thermal pool and themed sauna cabins — the contrast between the cool waterway morning and the warm spa afternoon is the essential Spreewald formula.
Channel cycling
Flat cycle paths follow the water channels through the biosphere villages — Lehde, Lübbenau, and the interior waterways accessible only by boat or bicycle.
Spreewald gherkin market
The Lübbenau market and local farm shops sell the Spreewald gherkins, horseradish, and herb preparations that are the region's most distinctive food products.
Sorbian folk culture
The Lower Sorbian folk costume, festival traditions, and bilingual signage in Burg are the living expression of a minority culture that has survived centuries of pressure.
About
About this getaway
Spreewaldresort Seinerzeit is a spa and wellness resort in Burg im Spreewald, Brandenburg, at the heart of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Spreewald — a flat, forested river delta landscape unique in central Europe, where the Spree river divides into hundreds of channels through ancient alluvial woodland, and flat-bottomed punt boats (Kähne) have been the primary transport for Sorbian communities for over a thousand years.
The resort combines a comprehensive thermal spa and pool landscape with the distinctive cultural and natural setting of the Spreewald: the Lower Sorbian minority culture with its distinctive folk dress and traditions, the cucumber and gherkin agriculture for which the region is famous across Germany, and the quietness of a biosphere reserve where motorised vehicles cannot access the interior waterways.
The wellness facilities at Seinerzeit include indoor and outdoor thermal pools, an extensive sauna world with multiple themed cabins and steam rooms, massage and body treatment services, and packages designed around relaxation and recovery in this unusual natural environment. For North American travellers seeking an off-the-tourist-circuit German wellness destination — a place unlike any other in the country — the Spreewald biosphere and Seinerzeit offer something genuinely unusual: thermal spa immersion in a UNESCO-protected river delta landscape within 90 minutes of Berlin.
The Spreewald occupies a category of its own in the German landscape. This is not a mountain range, a wine region, or a cultural city. It is a low, flat, watery forest — the delta of the Spree before the river reaches Berlin — where the Lower Sorbian people developed an entire civilisation of waterway living, punt boat culture, and distinctive folk tradition that survives to the present day.

FAQ
Good to know
What is the Spreewald and why is it a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve?
The Spreewald is a unique river delta in Brandenburg where the Spree divides into approximately 970 channels through alluvial forest. It was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1991 for its exceptional biodiversity — water meadows, ancient alluvial woodland, otters, kingfishers, and over 1,000 plant species — and for the preservation of Lower Sorbian minority culture.
What are the punt boats (Kähne) in the Spreewald?
Traditional flat-bottomed wooden boats propelled by a standing punter with a long pole — the historic transport of the Spreewald villages. Guided punt tours through the channels are available from Lübbenau, Lehde, and Burg, and are one of the defining experiences of a Spreewald visit.
How far is the Spreewald from Berlin?
Burg im Spreewald is approximately 120 km from Berlin — about 90 minutes by car via the A13 motorway, or approximately 90 minutes by regional train from Berlin Hauptbahnhof to Lübbenau station.
What are Spreewald gherkins?
Spreewald gherkins (Spreewälder Gurken) hold a European Protected Geographical Indication — they are grown in the alluvial soil of the Spreewald and brined with local herbs, producing a distinctive flavour product that is nationally famous in Germany. They appear in every Spreewald restaurant and market.
Who are the Lower Sorbs?
The Lower Sorbs (Niederlausitzer Sorben) are a Slavic minority people indigenous to the Lusatia region of Brandenburg and Saxony. Their language (Lower Sorbian), folk costumes, and festivals are actively maintained in the Spreewald. Burg im Spreewald is a centre of Sorbian cultural life.
Can I cycle in the Spreewald from Seinerzeit?
Yes. The Spreewald is excellent cycling country — the flat waterway landscape with dedicated cycle paths along the channels makes for leisurely half-day or full-day rides through the biosphere reserve villages.
Is Seinerzeit suitable as a Berlin extension stay?
Very much so. The Spreewald and Seinerzeit are popular with Berliners seeking a nature retreat within easy reach of the city. 2–3 nights after Berlin allows the deceleration that the Spreewald's waterway pace naturally produces.
