Rauen

Let's start with the tourist attractions. An absolute highlight is Fürstenwalde Castle, which was built in the Baroque style and now serves as a museum. The monastery church of St. Marien in Beeskow, which dates back to the 13th century, or Storkow Castle are also worth a visit.

In addition to historical buildings, there are also cultural highlights to discover, such as the Kleist Museum in Frankfurt (Oder), which is dedicated to the German poet Heinrich von Kleist, or the Spreewald Museum in Lübbenau.

For those who like to try culinary specialities, gherkins from the Spreewald and regional fish dishes are a must - it doesn't get any fresher than this!

For outdoor enthusiasts, there is a wide range of activities on offer: Hiking through the idyllic landscape of the Oderbruch or cycling on the well-developed network of cycle paths along the rivers Spree and Dahme are just a few possibilities. In summer you can also go canoeing or stand-up paddling, while in winter you can go ice skating on frozen lakes.

If it should rain, we recommend a visit to the thermal spa in Bad Saarow or a trip on the Spreewald punt to experience the landscape from the water.

Where is the most beautiful? That's hard to say, because Rauen and its surroundings offer so many beautiful places. But a walk through the Märkische Schweiz Nature Park is sure to be unforgettable.

This guide is designed to help you get the most out of your stay in Rauen, Oder-Spree - enjoy your trip!
