Alter Spreewaldbahnhof
In burg spreewald - located in the historic station of a now closed light railway that connected the villages in the upper spreewald with cottbus. drinks and desserts with small firework fountains are delivered to the table by a large model railway. very nice interior with uncountable antiques and collectibles related to railways. reasonably good regional and german cuisine, but not top end. but definitely great fun, especially when you are with kids or a fan of model railways yourself.

Typical Dishes
Do not miss to try the large variety of pickled cucumbers cornichons, horseradish, linseed oil and "Sauerkraut" - that is what the region is famous for. Pickled cucumbers are available sour, with herbs, with garlic, with mustard - the choices are almost infinite.
Pike and pike-perch sweetwater predatory fish served with a heavy sauce made from cream, flour and horseradish.
Potatoes with cream cheese, onions and linseed oil. Be careful with the latter, it is said to be very healthy but you really have to get used to it. In other regions, they use the stuff to produce putty to seal windows and not to eat.
Restaurants
Glück Auf!
In burg spreewald - here, the gdr german democratic republic is still alive! three old ladies in nylon aprons serve good plain cooking. huge servings and great value. better to skip the other meals of the day before you go there. sometimes closed for no obvious reason or because of private parties.
