Nuthe-Urstromtal offers a varied landscape of dense forests, wide fields, small rivers and heathland. Hiking, cycling and skating are complemented by swimming lakes and a range of cultural attractions. The mix that suits your stay depends on whether you want to explore the outdoors, spend time by the water or learn about historical topics.
Landscape between lake and vineyard
The Weinberg in Dobbrikow is a deposit from the Ice Age, formed by moving glaciers, and offers panoramic views of the surrounding hilly landscape. The dry grassland there is considered a natural monument in the region. This place brings together geology, a scenic viewpoint and a protected landscape.
At 15.6 hectares of water, Bauernsee is the largest of the five lakes bordering Dobbrikow. On its western shore is the 50-hectare Dobbrikower Wiesen und Weinberg nature reserve. The swimming lakes are among the options for spending time by the water; access conditions may change.
Glienicksee is also a swimming lake. A campsite and sandy beach are nearby. Swimming and camping conditions may change; check the latest information before visiting.
Trails for different kinds of days
Nuthe-Urstromtal offers hiking, cycling and skating. The PfefferflieĂź Route is 20.3 kilometres long and passes the Oberes PfefferflieĂź nature reserve. The Wildgehegeweg runs for 4.1 kilometres around the wooded BerkenbrĂĽck fallow deer enclosure. The trail lengths offer a practical comparison for planning your day: one route passes a nature reserve, while the other goes around an enclosure. Route lengths and descriptions may change when revised.
Church art, photography and rural life
Stülpe Church houses a Marian altar and a suspended baptismal angel. Another cultural theme is explored at the Oskar Barnack Museum in Lynow. It opened in 1995 in Oskar Barnack’s birthplace. The exhibitions cover the development of the original Leica and its successor models, and offer insights into the history of 35mm photography.
The museum barn in Jänickendorf depicts rural life as it was 100 years ago. Alongside church art and photography, everyday life and the rural way of life are also available as distinct themes to explore.
A historic memorial site in Ahrensdorf
A stele commemorates the former Hachshara site in Ahrensdorf. Between 1936 and 1941, this site prepared Jewish young people for emigration to Israel. Its subject differs from the museum and landscape experiences: here, the focus is on the history of the site and the young people’s lives.
Teltow-Fläming as a wider setting
The wider travel destination of Teltow-Fläming offers other independent points of interest. The Baruther Glashütte settlement is a monument of European significance. Its cultural offerings include a living glass museum with a working furnace and traditional workshops producing one-off pieces and small series. For broader cycling tour planning, Teltow-Fläming offers almost 600 kilometres of tourist cycling routes.
When looking for hotels in Nuthe-Urstromtal, you can first decide what interests you most: landscapes and swimming lakes, a route with a specific distance, or culture and history. This makes it easier to tailor your choices to the interests you want to shape your stay.
