Explore Müncheberg on a circuit along the city wall and on two cycling tours, each of which starts and ends in the town. Keeping these themes distinct lets you choose between a historical walk, a route passing through several named places, and regional cultural and nature themes in the wider destination of Märkisch-Oderland.
City Wall and City Forest
The city wall circuit runs alongside the almost completely intact medieval city wall and its two gate towers, circling the centre of Müncheberg. The walk thus focuses on the fortifications and their course through the townscape. If you are interested in historic urban structures, it offers a distinct focus alongside the cycling routes.
Müncheberg City Forest covers around 2,428 ha. Müncheberg is one of Brandenburg’s five largest municipal forest owners; the first transfer of forest to the town took place in 1321. The city forest is therefore a subject both for its size and for Müncheberg’s historical relationship with forest ownership. The city wall and the forest offer different perspectives: the medieval fortifications on one hand, and the history of municipal forest ownership on the other.
Cycling Tours from Müncheberg
One cycling tour starts and ends in Müncheberg and passes through Eggersdorf, Gölsdorf, Buchholz, Steinhöfel and Tempelberg. A second also starts and ends in the town: it follows the Buckow Railway via Buckow, around Lake Schermützel, along the Stöbber, and through Drei Eichen, Hermersdorf, Wulkow and Trebnitz on the way back to Müncheberg. The suggested routes differ in the places they name: one passes through several towns, while the other links place names with a lake and a watercourse. Check local route conditions before setting out.
Guided Tours in the Municipality
In the municipality of Müncheberg, the Gustav Seitz Museum offers group and special guided tours inside and outside opening hours, as well as for individual occasions. Coordinate your plans with the museum before your visit. Unlike the city wall circuit, the focus here is a guided tour whose date and occasion you can arrange in advance.
More Perspectives in Märkisch-Oderland
In the wider destination of Märkisch-Oderland, the main route of the Oderbruchbahn Cycle Route runs from Fürstenwalde/Spree—or alternatively from Müncheberg—to Wriezen. The cycle route passes through the quiet landscape of the Oderbruch and is also a journey into the early 20th century and the history of railway transport.
Hiking routes also offer a point of comparison in Märkisch-Oderland: in the Märkische Schweiz, you can explore the 17 km Natura Trail and the almost 21 km certified Märkische Schweiz Nature Park Route. The route lengths offer two different distances; check local trail conditions before setting out.
For those interested in culture, the Brecht-Weigel House in Buckow is another regional attraction. It has been a museum since 1977. The Brecht-Weigel House Literature Museum hosts readings, concerts, talks, discussions, films, exhibitions and special guided tours throughout the year; individual offerings vary.
