Berlin, Potsdam and Spreewald Campervan Itinerary: 3 Days

Quick summary: This short campervan itinerary pairs Potsdam’s palaces with the canals of the Spreewald. Day one drives to Potsdam for Sanssouci and a Havel lakes campsite, day two crosses to the Spreewald for a punt ride, and day three explores by bike or canoe before returning to Berlin. Drives are short, and the route also works as the opening leg of a longer trip if your campervan or motorhome rental runs longer.
