Spreewald Canoe

It’s so great and it’s so easy. It’s the perfect getaway for a sunday and the right mix between relaxation and activity: going around in Spreewald’s little natural canals in a canoe. Here’s how you do it.

Take the train from Berlin Alexanderplatz, Hauptbahnhof or Ostbahnhof to Lübbenau. From the trainstation in Lübbenau it’s a 15 min walk to the next boat rental. I can recommend Bootsverleih Hannemann. They will give you a canoe for two, paddles and a map and explain the way you can go in three or four hours. And off you are! In the middle of the greatest nature, in less than 1,5h hours from Berlin. I was truly amazed that it is so easy.

Here’s a map of Lübbenau.

And all of sudden you’re here.

Just many, many midges, bring spray!

Imagine to live here! The canal is the only way to your house.

I wonder what’s inside these strawy hills.

Rest and have a drink.

There are watergates around you have to manage yourself.

I was proud I understood how it works (it’s not difficult, anyway)

Exploited Party Arty Summer Jam

Banner Exploited Party Arty Summer RaveThis is going to be an excellent festival! Exploited label and the Party Arty crew come together on the Alt Stralau island in the middle of Berlin in an old carpet factory to celebrate music, poetry and art. I highly recommend this event, not only because Exploited label boss Shir Khan and Party Arty founder Yaneq are two of my oldest Berlin companions and I am really proud what they have achieved. See you there!

That’s the exploited artists and a glimpse at what their parties look like:

And since I know that you liked the song, here is the complete Claptone track “Wrong” with the crazy Dr Dre sample.
