Deep in the Spreewald lays one of the oldest excursion restaurants – the Wotschofska. The name originates from the Wendish word “wotso” (alder) and means in a way, Alder Island. 
It is a floodwater resistant elevation in the inner Spreewald. 

Oftentimes this isolated place was an asylum for people in need. 
The hostile army never reached this place.

In 1894 Lübbenau-city built the Wotschofska guesthouse up, that was only accessible over the water till 1911.


Because of its beautiful location, in the middle of the high forest of the Spreewald and because of its fantastic gastronomy, the guesthouse became a popular place for excursions.

Countless guests passed on, that there is a place deep in the high forest called Wotschofska. A place to relax, have eventful rowing boat trips or a walking-tour.
