Gasthaus Wotschofska in Lübbenau/Spreewald

Great place buty we visited buforem high season. Cannot pay with card.

It's very, very nice there. Unfortunately, you can only pay in cash, which is problematic in such a remote area. Hence, one star less for service. Luckily, someone in the group had enough cash with them.

Nice, but expensive and you will only pay cash in 2025

It was very nice again. The food was tasty.

We've been coming to the restaurant for 8 years to go on vacation and always hike to the restaurant...but this year everything was different. 80% of the tables outside were reserved without specifying when...food wasn't from the main menu that was on the table...card payment wasn't possible

Highly recommended...good, upscale cuisine with top service!

Sat outside and waited 20 minutes to be seated after we were told to wait outside and they would come to us. Finally moved on. Really no service orientation...

Of course touristy, but nice when the weather is good.

Well, we wanted to order food and apparently the food isn't on the menu. Then why is the card out? Staff was very nice. Unfortunately it's mass processing and not comfortable. Better go to the Frischkönig.

Tourist place, no possibility to pay by card, only cash

Only criticism. There were menus out there from which you couldn't order anything. Please just don't put them on the tables. But the plinse was delicious as always.

This restaurant is located in the deepest Spreewald. Very good food, nice service staff. There was nothing to complain about. Definitely worth a visit.

Food was a matter of taste. For the ambience and the price, we expected better quality of cakes and noodles. No card payment possible. It was the only restaurant on our route. Toilet quite clean.

If you are in the Spreewald, then go! Even if the hut is full: nice service, good to very good cuisine, regional products...playground for the little ones.

Food and drinks were absolutely fine. You pay a higher price for the service because the inn cannot be reached by car. It's a shame that card payment is not possible.

Extremely large, everything prepared, simple menu but very good food

Basically quite nice. Pricing is probably due to the tourist hotspot. However, if you are looking for such prices, card payment should be possible.

The waiting time is limited given the crowds. The food is good and the service is on point

Beautiful tourist town, crossing six bridges from Lübbenau with your bike and trailer, the ambience made up for the effort. The iced coffee was more of a cold chocolate with a lot of cream, but OK.

Wir waren mit unseren beiden Kindern im Rahmen einer Radtour hier. Das Gasthaus mit großer Terrasse liegt idyllisch mitten im Spreewald. Das Getränke und Speisenangebot ist okay. Die Angestellten wirkten gestresst, obwohl die Terrasse nicht einmal voll besetzt war. Absolutes No Go: man akzeptiert im Jahr 2025 nur Bargeld.

Great place to visit. Super friendly service. Absolutely recommended.

Delicious food, rustic inn, great service

Very idyllic, surrounded by greenery, easily accessible by boat, beautiful outdoor area

A nice excursion restaurant that can only be reached on foot, by canoe or bicycle.

There is very good food and a large selection of drinks. The staff is friendly. Which is not possible for such a busy restaurant. You always have to have cash with you. No card payment possible.

Great restaurant with a “small menu” in April, as it’s not yet in season. I missed the typical meals, like lard sandwiches with cucumbers or something similar on the menu. The zander from the menu (no cucumber salad on offer) was completely over-seasoned. Portion but generous. Some staff unmotivated. Ambience really great but you can also get that elsewhere in the Spreewald. The restaurant can be reached after a 3.5 km walk or by canoe.

The rather average rating is incomprehensible. The ambience and location are unique and the staff is friendly. Of course, the ban on picnics and other measures are clearly stated, but this is understandable in a heavily frequented tourist spot. Very nice playground directly between the pier for the (private) canoes and the large outdoor area. Very fast service even with high occupancy.

A very nice location in the middle of the Spreewald, charming and quiet. Absolutely recommended.

Of course, this place is highly recommended

For a touristic place food was quite good, and prices are reasonable. Be mindful that they take only cash

It wasn't on, even though it says on Google, it was dealt with very sloppily. We should have read it on the internet

Very nice historical excursion restaurant with a great ambience and in the beautiful landscape of the Spreewald Biosphere Reserve. Only accessible on foot or by bike.

We've been there many times. It's always a nice trip there, whether by canoe, bike or on foot. The food is always really good. We went to the slaughter festival with a few people. The buffet was excellent. The ambience is rustic and clean, overall a pleasant atmosphere. The service varies from very good, fast and attentive to a few exceptions that were obviously uncoordinated, which can happen from time to time. Overall, everyone is very friendly and accommodating. It is important to note that you can only pay in cash there.

lovely place… we arrived quite later but they spared us a life-saving goulash 🙏

Medium friendly service, no vegan options. When asked, only potatoes with coleslaw and boring pasta with tomato sauce, although after waiting for a quarter of an hour there were no more potatoes.

Battlefield was a real treat Like in the past with home slaughter

A wonderful restaurant in the middle of the Spreewald. After a nice walk we stopped in and quickly got a table without a reservation. The food was extremely good. It tasted like mother's. We would always like to come back. The spicy food is quick and good, the people are friendly, the restaurant is very rustic, just wonderful ☺️🤤🤗 The selection of dishes. The quality of the food is very good. Everyone can find something to eat there. The surroundings of the restaurant are very quaint, very beautiful. We were there in winter and there was a mulled wine stand set up in the beer garden. From there, barges travel towards Lübbenau and Burg. We definitely didn't visit this restaurant for the last time - it was very pleasant☺️

A nice break in the Spreewald. A must in the summer by boat.

We celebrated New Year's Eve here, it was really nice with a great atmosphere 👍

Great location, right on the water. Not accessible by car. There is plenty of boat parking available. We were here before midday and it was still pleasantly empty. There is a self-service area and an area where you are served at the table. We were in the self-service area, Latte M. and a piece of poppy seed cake for just under €10 is a bit pricey, fish rolls €5.60 aren't exactly cheap either. Despite everything, you should stop by, it's rustic and cozy.

One of the most famous excursion restaurants in the heart of the Spreewald. Reachable on foot and by bike (which you then have to carry over a few bridges), by paddle boat and easily by boat, e.g. from Lübbenau. Playgrounds for the children, souvenirs for tourists, food and drinks for hungry and thirsty visitors. Always worth a trip.

Very friendly service, cherry plinse was very tasty. But the music in the beer garden doesn't have to be there.

Had lunch there during the boat trip, it was very tasty. Service was very good and quick.

A nice restaurant. A bit crowded in high season. Prices are apparently ok for the holiday region, but for me that's a point deducted for that reason, but that's my personal opinion. We'll still come back. 😉

Idyllic and harmonious, the food was great 👍

It's always included on the route when paddling... and beautiful in every season

After a nice boat trip, the inn invites you to linger with its food and drinks. Thanks.

Rustic gastronomic point of contact during a hike in the nature of the Spreewald. Various food and drinks are offered at acceptable prices.

Rustic atmosphere, original Spreewald food. Fast and tasty

Nice destination, quite expensive

Very nicely located, very cozy even in autumn, everything was beautifully decorated, both inside and outside. Service was great, food was great too. We'd love to come back.

Cozy guest house in the middle of the forest in a beautiful setting. A walk or bike ride there is always worthwhile for nature lovers.

The Alder Island is within walking distance and is a highlight in both summer and winter.

Excursion restaurant worth seeing. Went by bike in bad weather and found a friendly atmosphere with consistently nice staff and good food. Fast service, but was only moderately busy due to the poor weather.

Very nice old rustic house in the middle of the forest. Very well located and also well attended. 👍 The range of food and drinks is good and tasty. The price-performance ratio doesn't quite match. 😒 A bit too high in my opinion. The staff is very quick, nice and friendly. 👍👍 All in all, recommended. Can be reached by boat, bike 🚴‍♂️ or on foot, beautiful hiking trail from Lübbenau. 👍

It's always a pleasure to come back here. 😊👍 Great beer garden that can only be reached by foot, bike or boat. Very friendly service, who always have a smile despite the hard work. Thank you for your great work!! 👍👍👍

A great place with very good food, fast and friendly service. Price performance is right, easy to reach by bike

We stopped there after a hike in the Spreewald and actually just wanted to take a short break. Unfortunately the snack area was closed so we went to the inn. The staff was very friendly, the atmosphere was cozy and the food was delicious. We had pasta with chanterelles and game goulash. The prices were not low, but acceptable for an inn where there is no competition or alternative in the larger area.

The lentils were very tasty. The service was very friendly. The outdoor area is lovingly designed and decorated.

Great restaurant in beautiful surroundings. We stopped here during our paddling tour. Unfortunately you cannot pay with an EC card. Menu with regional products and specialties.

Great service and very tasty food

Very tasty food, very fast service, big thank you until next time.

We had drinks here after hiking. I didn't like the beer. The location is nice and pleasant.

By 5 p.m. there is no more food

Everything so far so good, the only drawback was that the self-service area was closed due to a lack of staff. I just wanted a bockwurst with salad or another little something. So I had to sit down and “make do” with a full meal. Of course it was also a cost issue.

An absolute must. Cannot be reached by car. 4 km on foot, bike & boat ride. Very good service and absolutely nice staff. Gladly again.

The way there is too highly recommended. The toilets were very well maintained. Unfortunately the food was a bit burnt.

Clearly touristy but still worth seeing. If you are hiking by boat you should take a break here.

A friendly place to relax with a cold drink after kayaking...or during a trip. A place worth recommending.

Super great location, really fantastic. Staff friendly. Food looked good, but we didn't eat anything because the prices were extremely exorbitant. I would even call it cheeky... It's a shame, otherwise everything is great.

Food was good but too expensive. The scenery is great, it's very crowded at lunchtime and it's best to reserve a table as many boats stop here. Unfortunately, only cash payment is possible, as there is no internet here, nor is it mobile.

Very tasty, fast service and beautiful scenery - highly recommended

Very crowded. Staff was very friendly. Food was very overpriced, but it wasn't really good. Comparable to a canteen. Except that for that money you could probably eat in the canteen every day for a week. In 2024 we discussed digitalization around the world and unfortunately it is not possible to pay by card there!?!

There is a small selection of dishes. Unfortunately, no card payment is accepted. The beer garden was closed.

It's a shame that you can't pay with an EC card in the restaurant these days 😓 I found everything a bit overpriced there....

Unfriendly and incompetent service. The food is below average and overpriced. The location is completely exploited, there is nowhere else to go. ADVICE: Take food with you so you don't have to rely on this rip-off. One star is still too many! ! !

Food was good, but due to the location they seem to want to make a lot of profit here. The only thing that is far above average here is the prices. The food really isn't bad, but a schnitzel for €20 is absurd.

Flair and charm play a big role here. You will find a very well-kept restaurant with an idyllic beer garden. The waiters are on the ball and very accommodating. The food selection is large and very tasty.

This beautifully located inn is located in the middle of the Spreewald. The four of us were there 15 minutes before closing time and were still able to order everything. The Plins with applesauce or cherry compote are highly recommended. The ice cream sundaes were also super tasty. We'd love to come back.

Enjoy your meal. Lots of hustle and bustle in the season. Prices normal. If you come by boat one hour time.

Historic log cabin with a good harbor, also for canoeists. Great location towards Hochwald. But it can get crowded around lunchtime, as the vehicles reserve a lot of tables.

As many have already mentioned: only cash payment possible. The waiter was nice. The price-performance ratio for food, however, is poor. Of course, given the location, it is to be expected that the prices will be slightly higher. But the business here goes beyond the mark. It is estimated that the prices are 30 to 40% higher than what you would pay for comparable food in Berlin. I think that's excessive, as the quality of the food was just average. The location isn't worth that much after all. In addition, the toilets cost extra and the toilet paper was missing. What really bothered me were the many smokers on the terrace. It would be nice if there were areas with tables for smokers that were a little further away from the non-smoking tables.

A must in the Spreewald. What the Hofbräuhaus is in Munich is the Wotschowska in the Spreewald.

Rowed in the boat and was pleasantly surprised by the great atmosphere. The lentils were also really highly recommended

€12.50 for pasta with tomato sauce is pretty cheeky. There's also +1€ for cheese and then there are three crumbs of cheese on top. Not recommended, just take your own food with you!

Nice place but all the dishes that we have ordered were super bland and expensive. Nice to have a beer but don't order any food!

Take a boat trip and sail there. Good food and drink in the Spreewald.

We always enjoy coming here when we are in the Spreewald.

Was there again as part of Rock in Wotschofska. It was my first concert there. I really thought it was great, the scenery was great, and the supplies were okay. Otherwise I've often been there and had a bite to eat. Everything was great and I can highly recommend it.

Very nice gastronomy, friendly staff

Very busy but still good service

Pleasant location and nice decor but the food needs improvement.

Great place, service slow but due to the number of guests. Food was good, but unfortunately not very good. Still a nice memory.

Fast and friendly service. Delicious food

Few vegan dishes and one that was marked as vegan was not vegan when asked.

Super tasty food, delivered quickly. Unfortunately no card payment possible. Because you should pay more contactless.

Great food and atmosphere. What business in the year 2024 is cash only??? And no, a sign not in English is not enough for a tourist restaurant. I had to make a wire transfer in order to pay, since I only found that out in the end of the meal. Ridiculous.

It's good to arrive a little before 12pm to easily get a seat. From 12 p.m. the larger boats come for lunch. You cannot bring your own food here and picnics are not permitted. Toilet available and clean. The food is averagely priced and the portions are filling but not huge.

Quite good, but a bit overpriced. 4 cucumbers and some bread for 10 euros. But the cucumbers are delicious.

Beautifully located inn with a large outdoor area also with a large sun and rain protection roof. Right on the water
