Lehde is a small German village in the center of the swamplands called Spreewald. For hundreds of years, the village was accessible only by boat. Lately, a small access road has been built, but life still depends vastly on boats. Police, fire fighters, even garbage collection all use boats - and so does the mail service.
Every weekday, mail carrier Andrea Bunar punts Germany's only floating post office through a dozend miles of canals serving 150 customers, most of which have their mail boxes somewhere in the middle of the swamp. The service covers everything any ordinary mail car would cover and stamps can be bought right at the boat. |

The boat shed, in which the mail punt is stored served a location for the main coordinates.
