Dahme-Spreewald District, Administrative district in Brandenburg, Germany.
Dahme-Spreewald is an administrative district in Brandenburg characterized by extensive waterways, forests, and around 38 municipalities including Königs Wusterhausen and Lübben. The landscape is shaped by rivers, lakes, and green spaces that run throughout the entire area.
The district was formed in 1993 through the merging of earlier administrative divisions after German reunification, when Brandenburg took its current shape. The geographic and administrative boundaries were redrawn at that time to organize the region.
The region keeps strong links to Sorbian traditions, especially in the Spreewald area, where folk customs and local crafts remain part of everyday life.
Visitors will find a well-developed network of hiking trails and water routes running through the natural landscape. Most towns are accessible by public transport or car, and the area is particularly suitable for spending several days exploring.
The Spreewald section of the region is known for its network of waterways that were hand-dug over centuries, creating a maze-like pattern. These artificial channels still shape how people navigate and live in the area today.
