Discover Franz Fühmann on a trail and at an exhibition
The Fühmann Trail runs through Märkisch Buchholz via 14 QR code stops and is 2.2 kilometres long. Short texts and activities can be accessed at the stops. The trail thus combines a walk through the town with literary content. Its stated length gives you a concrete point of reference when planning your day; the texts and activities make additional content available at the stops.
Franz Fühmann also had a biographical connection to Märkisch Buchholz: from 1959 until his death in 1984, he lived alternately in Berlin and Märkisch Buchholz. The trail was created in 2022 to mark what would have been his 100th birthday. Anyone wishing to learn more about his life and work can visit the Franz Fühmann Literature and Meeting Centre in the former primary school building. It houses a permanent exhibition about the writer’s life and work. The trail and exhibition have different focuses: the trail offers short texts and activities at QR code stops, while the exhibition is permanently dedicated to Fühmann’s life and work.
Cycle to the cascade weir
The Dahme Cycle Route runs all the way to Märkisch Buchholz. In the town centre, it passes the cascade weir on the Dahme Flood Relief Canal. The weir overcomes a difference in elevation of 6 metres. If you are cycling the route, you can experience this engineering feature along the way. The cascade weir also has a cultural connection: it is listed as a sight along the Lesefährte Waldweisen literary trail.
The weir therefore offers several points of interest during a visit: it lies along the Dahme Cycle Route in the town centre and is also part of the Lesefährte Waldweisen literary trail. These features appeal both to cyclists and to visitors interested in local sights.
A play break and travelling by water
The Kinderwald is a good place to take a break for play and exercise. There is a forest playground there. This adds a different activity to the literary and cycling suggestions: when planning your day, you can make time for exercise and play as well as visits to cultural sites.
The Märkisch Buchholz bivouac site lies directly on the Dahme and is intended as a rest stop for visitors travelling by water. It is stated to operate from May to the end of September. If you want to experience the Dahme while travelling by water, this offers a particular point of interest when choosing a holiday destination. The bivouac site is intended for visitors travelling by water; you can take its stated operating period into account when planning a stay during those months.
Whether you are mainly interested in Fühmann, a cycling trip, a play break or travelling by water, Märkisch-Buchholz offers a range of themes to choose from for your trip. When looking for a holiday apartment, it can be helpful to first decide which of these activities you want to shape your stay.
