Spreewald - Spree forest
The Spree Forest - Germany
The Spree Forest is a picturesque section of the German state of Brandenburg located about 100 km south-east of Berlin. Spreewald was designated a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1991. It is known for its traditional irrigation system, consisting of more than 200 small canals (called "Fließe"; total length: 1,300 km ) within the 484-square-kilometre (187 sq mi) area. The landscape was shaped during the ice-age. Alder forests on wetlands and pine forests on sandy dry areas are characteristic for the region. Grasslands and fields can be found as well.
Der Spreewald ist ein ausgedehntes Niederungsgebiet und eine historische Kulturlandschaft im Südosten des Bundeslandes Brandenburg. Hauptmerkmal ist die natürliche Flusslaufverzweigung der Spree, die durch angelegte Kanäle deutlich erweitert wurde.
