My photographic Journey through the German Spreewald

You will find one of the most peacefully and relaxing places in middle Europe !

History of the Spreewald

The natural landscape of the Spreewald got formed by Ice Age Processes. During the glacier melts, the complex network of canals and streams was formed. Small islands of sand were raised through deposits. So in fact the Spreewald landscape is unique in Europe and at the beginning of the 1990s, a 475 km² area was declared a UNESCO Spreewald Biosphere Reserve which it is to this day.

The first registered people settled down in the 17th century on these sandy elevations known as Kaupen. The "Burg-Kauper" is known as one of the best-known scattered settlements in the Spreewald.
