With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Lübbenau/Spreewald, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be Spreewelten Bad, Freilandmuseum Lehde and Spreewaldmuseum Luebbenau. Locals will also probably point you toward Bad Saarow, 30 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Scharmuetzelsee. (But we’d also highly recommend Saarow Therme and Irrlandia.)
