Oberspreewald

The Oberspreewald begins at the little town of Burg. Between here and Lübben, the Spree and its tributary the Malxe, with a fall of only 7m/23ft in a course of 34km/21mi, split up into innumerable little streams. Here the trees lining the banks of the streams alternate with expanses of meadowland and patches of arable land and gardens.
