Traditions and customs

The ancestors of today's Sorbs/Wends are originally Slavic tribes from the north-eastern Carpathians. They arrived in the area between the Baltic Sea and the Ore Mountains around 1500 years ago. Today they live in Upper and Lower Lusatia and in the Spreewald.

Rafting also has a long tradition. Together with timber processing, it used to be an important part of the economy.

In Lychen, the rafting museum provides an insight into the life of the raftsmen and you can experience the work on a raft on a raft trip.
