Discover Germany's hidden excursion destinations with the Deutschlandticket!

Summer is here and with it the perfect time for excursions! For everyone who doesn't want to get lost in the hustle and bustle of the big city and is looking for beautiful places in the area, the Deutschlandticket is a brilliant option. The ticket currently costs 58 euros, is only available as a subscription and can be canceled monthly. This allows you to use local public transport in Germany and experience exciting destinations. Thanks to the new system, it was cheaper than before Corona, where you can reach the best excursion destinations for less than two euros a day. Berliner Zeitung offers exciting insider tips for remote places.

A real classic is the Niederfinow ship lift, the oldest of its kind still in operation in Germany. It is already 91 years old and attracts attention with its impressive height of over 60 meters. In 2022, the most modern lifting station in Europe was inaugurated, which not only offers technical know-how, but also a great visitor experience. You can admire the spectacle from a gallery 40 meters high. The tours cost 8 euros (5 euros reduced) for the historic work and 12 euros (8 euros reduced) for the new elevator. After a short visit you can also observe the herd of regional wild horses, the Liebenthaler Wildlings. Schifffahrt Niederfinow provides information about sightseeing trips between March and October, which offer a very special opportunity to explore the region from the water.

Attractions for nature and history lovers

If you want to enjoy a little more nature, you can consider canoeing in the Spreewald. The two cities of Lübben and Lübbenau are particularly popular - Lübben, a little quieter, offers beautiful hiking trails on the castle island, while Lübbenau has more of a big city feel with its shops and restaurants. Boat rentals are available on site, where kayaks can be rented for as little as 20 euros for two hours.

Another highlight is exploring the Beelitz healing sites, which are now preserved as a monument. Here you can experience a treetop walk on 15 hectares with views of historic buildings and idyllic nature. There is also a barefoot park, which offers a very special nature experience with over 70 stations. Entrance fees are 17 euros (15 euros reduced) for the treetop path and 9.50 euros (7.50 euros reduced) for the barefoot park.
