Schlepzig – the gem of the Unterspreewald

Mystical and enchanted, Schlepzig lies at the heart of the swampy wetland landscape of the Spreewald. One of the oldest villages in Mark Brandenburg, it has led a secluded existence for centuries: the village church and some farmyards date back to the 18th century, giving Schlepzig a touch of historical charm.

One particularly interesting sight here is the farm museum featuring agricultural technology and information on how the Spreewald farmers once lived and worked. On a historic farmyard, traditional agricultural equipment is on display along with a tractor collection and a completely furnished residential house. In addition to a distillery, Schlepzig also has a brewery which is great for beer lovers: here you can taste one of the four types of beer brewed on the premises over a hearty meal. From the large meadow at the entrance to the village, punts set off on lengthy discovery tours through the waterways of the Unterspreewald.
