Spreewald's tiny channels often look man-made but they really are a freak of nature.
 Ten thousand years ago, at the end of the last ice age, retracting glaciers carved hundreds of ditches and rifts into a formaly plane landscape. These ditches were later filled with water from the Spree river, forming 187 square miles (or 120,000 acres) of wetland in a delta system that can't be found anywhere else in the world. Put together, these channels have a total length of 800 miles - more than three times the lengths of the main river! During our 2007 visit, we took a gondola tour of these amazing canals and while we are still working on a more elaborate report, here are our pictures: |
