Circuit and castle park
Hohenseefeld is right beside the Flaeming-Skate’s three-metre-wide Circuit 1. The Flaeming-Skate runs for around 230 kilometres through forests, meadows and fields, away from disruptive road traffic, and passes villages and towns in Niederer Fläming and the Baruther Urstromtal. This makes activity and landscape concrete interests to plan a trip around. In the wider destination of Teltow-Fläming, the district maintains and regularly cleans the Flaeming-Skate. Even so, check the route conditions before setting out.
Wiepersdorf Castle offers a cultural counterpoint. Its museum traces the castle’s development across five rooms, from the von Arnim family manor house to its current use as a residence for artists and scientists. Wiepersdorf Castle Park is open to pedestrians every day from 7 a.m. until nightfall. If you plan a walk, you can use these opening hours to guide your visit.
Cultural highlights in the wider destination of Teltow-Fläming
In the wider destination of Teltow-Fläming, the Baruther Glashütte settlement is a monument of European importance. It has a lively glass museum with an operating furnace, and traditional workshops produce one-of-a-kind pieces and small batches. The history of glass, a working furnace and artisanal production each offer a distinct focus.
The museums in Jüterbog also offer different perspectives on the region. The museum in the Franciscan monastery presents regional archaeology, the history of the Reformation and the city’s military history across three floors. Jüterbog’s historic old town is also one of the sights in the district of Teltow-Fläming.
In Kloster Zinna, in the wider destination of Teltow-Fläming, the history of the former Cistercian monastery goes hand in hand with demonstrations of how the essences for the herbal liqueur “Klosterbruder” are made: the monastery museum and demonstration distillery bring these two themes together. The weaving museum in Kloster Zinna displays historic handlooms and textile art, with practical demonstrations. Those interested in crafts will find a different focus here than in the museums devoted to urban and military history.
The Dahme/Mark Local History Museum offers insights into the crafts and folklore of Niederer Fläming. Its collection includes, among other things, clamping irons and Fläming traditional costumes. This offers a way to explore regional traditions, while Baruther Glashütte focuses on artisanal production and Jüterbog on urban history.
