Discover Teltow-Fläming
Accommodation in Teltow-Fläming
Rolling hills, broad valleys, highlands and lowlands shape Teltow-Fläming. The district also offers protected areas, museums covering a wide range of subjects, and opportunities to stay active: it brings together nature experiences with cultural and technological history. When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can first consider whether you would prefer to plan your outings around the landscape, sporting activities or particular exhibitions.
Landscape and activities
The district includes 30,414 hectares of the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park. Visitors can experience the flora and fauna of Teltow-Fläming’s landscapes up close. If you would like to make room for both nature and culture in your travel plans, you can consider these interests side by side when choosing places to visit, without limiting your stay to a single theme.
The district has almost 600 kilometres of tourist cycling routes. A holiday apartment can be a convenient base for days focused on cycling; your choice of route depends on your personal plans. Fläming-Skate is another notable attraction for active visitors: the Jüterbog Skate Arena is located directly on the route and attracts elite athletes from across Europe. Teltow-Fläming District maintains Fläming-Skate and cleans it regularly.
FlämingWalk can be reached by train via the Woltersdorf and Luckenwalde stops. If travelling by train is important to your outing plans, these two stops provide a useful point of reference. When choosing your accommodation, you can also consider which places and activities interest you most during your stay.
Museums and regional history
The Baruther Glashütte settlement combines historic character with a tradition of craftsmanship: it is a monument of European significance. Its glass museum is a living museum with a working furnace. Traditional workshops produce one-of-a-kind pieces and small batches. This makes Baruther Glashütte a destination for anyone interested in glass and how it is made.
Jüterbog offers several different points of interest in cultural history. The museum in the Mönchenkloster presents regional archaeology, the history of the Reformation and the city’s military history across three floors. The historic old town is also a visitor attraction. Those particularly interested in the history of the early 19th century can visit the Großbeeren Memorial Tower, which presents the liberation movement around 1813, including a diorama of the Battle of Großbeeren.
Other museums each focus on their own subjects. The MUST – Museum of the City and Technology in Ludwigsfelde explores the city’s history, vehicle manufacturing and engines. In Lynow, the Oskar Barnack Museum is dedicated to the inventor of the Leica 35mm camera and its 24 x 36 mm film; it also offers insights into the history of photography. The Blankensee Farmers’ Museum is housed in a Brandenburg-style central-hall house dating from 1649 and depicts village life of that period.
Crafts and everyday history can also be explored through specific collections. The Jänickendorf Museum Barn depicts rural life over the past 200 years, with historic household objects and agricultural equipment. The weaving museum in Kloster Zinna displays historic handlooms and textile art, with live demonstrations. The Dahme/Mark Local History Museum focuses on the crafts and folklore of the Lower Fläming; exhibits include an extensive collection of clamp irons and Fläming traditional costumes.
Special destinations and planning your visit
In Kloster Zinna, the monastery museum and demonstration distillery combine the history of the Cistercian monastery with demonstrations of how the essences for the “Klosterbruder” herbal liqueur are made. The former Cistercian monastery itself is another visitor attraction. In Wünsdorf-Waldstadt, the NEUE GALERIE presents changing exhibitions spanning different genres of contemporary art, while the Theodor Fontane Cabinet features a permanent exhibition on Fontane’s “Walks through the Mark Brandenburg.”
For some destinations, it is worth factoring the type of visit into your plans. The Kummersdorf Historical and Technical Museum offers guided tours of the former firing range by prior arrangement. The Wünsdorf Book and Bunker City offers tours of the Maybach I and Zeppelin bunkers; advance registration by phone or in writing is required. The Boden-Geo-Pfad trail through the Sperenberg gypsum quarries and Klausdorf clay pits is twelve kilometres long. It was opened in June 2008 and provides information about the soil and the formation and use of the Sperenberg gypsum quarries. As maintenance work is not yet complete, the trail is currently accessible only to a limited extent.
Cultural offerings also include the Fläming Cultural Days in Jüterbog and the Kloster Zinna Summer Music Series in Kloster Zinna. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Teltow-Fläming, the subjects that interest you—such as glass, regional history, photography, technology, art or outdoor activities—can help determine which places to visit and where to stay.
