A two-kilometre nature trail around Schlosssee and 7.5 kilometres of developed hiking trails provide a clear framework for spending time outdoors in Zeschdorf. There are also activities at Hohenjesarscher See and historic landmarks in Hohenjesar and on Pfeilerberg.

Lakeshores and swimming facilities

There are several places to enjoy activities on the water at Hohenjesarscher See. On the Fischerhalbinsel, there is an accessible fishing jetty with an associated car park. The lake’s swimming area in Alt Zeschdorf has a beach and a grassy sunbathing lawn. Facilities may vary seasonally; check the current conditions before visiting. The Seecamp am Oderbruch is also located on the eastern shore of Hohenjesarscher See and has its own swimming access. These details can help you choose a destination to suit your plans: the fishing jetty and car park on the Fischerhalbinsel, the beach and sunbathing lawn in Alt Zeschdorf, or the camp’s swimming access.

Trails and wildlife

The nature trail runs around Schlosssee in Zeschdorf and is two kilometres long. It is distinct from the total of 7.5 kilometres of developed hiking trails, which also include routes through the “Trepliner und Alt Zeschdorfer Fließtal” nature reserve. The figures refer to different scales: the nature trail is one named route, while the longer distance describes the developed network of trails. This lets you choose between a specific path by the lake and a wider selection of hiking trails when planning your visit.

The “Trepliner und Alt Zeschdorfer Fließtal” nature reserve is home to beavers, black woodpeckers and otters. Wildlife therefore offers another focus for walks, alongside the trail distances. If you would like to include nature-related activities in your stay, you can take these details into account when choosing what to do.

Tours starting in Alt Zeschdorf

An official cycling and hiking tour starts at the “Am Seeberg” leisure and tourism centre in Alt Zeschdorf. It passes through Wulkow and returns to Alt Zeschdorf along a forest and field path. This provides both a specific starting point and a described return route. The tour can be considered separately from the hiking trails: it connects the starting point in Alt Zeschdorf with a return via Wulkow and describes the character of the return route.

Traces of local history

The historic Bismarck pump in Hohenjesar commemorates a visit by Bismarck. On Pfeilerberg, four obelisks mark the former entrance to the palace. The two sites offer different historical perspectives: the pump is associated with a visit, while the obelisks point to a former entrance to the palace. These landmarks complement the themes of nature and lakeshores with a glimpse into the area’s history.

Choose accommodation to suit your interests

When looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider what you would like to focus on during your stay: trails around Schlosssee, walks through the nature reserve, activities at Hohenjesarscher See or the historic sites. These interests can be considered separately when planning; they do not need to be combined into one fixed circular route. If swimming is part of your plans, check the current conditions at the swimming area, and choose accommodation that suits the activities that matter to you.
