Discover Petershagen/Eggersdorf

Petershagen/Eggersdorf offers several clear focal points for planning a trip: Bötzsee Lake, marked hiking and cycling trails, and landmarks that bear witness to local history. If you are looking for a hotel, you can start by considering whether water, outdoor activities, or historic buildings should shape your stay.

At Bötzsee Lake and on the trails

Bötzsee Lake borders the Eggersdorf district to the north and lies within the “Blumenthal Forest and Lakes” landscape conservation area. Bötzsee Beach has a sandy beach, extensive sunbathing lawns, shade-giving trees, and a pier with a diving tower. A lift at the pier provides wheelchair users with access to the water.

For hikes and cycling trips, the “In and around Petershagen-Eggersdorf” map includes 13 circular routes ranging from 7 to 30 km. They follow lake shores and pass through woodland, residential, and open-field areas. More than 400 signposts mark local hiking and cycling trails. One specific option is the Seeblick Loop: Bötzsee, listed as 11.50 km and of moderate difficulty. The map gives a distance range for circular routes; the length and difficulty are also specified for this individual loop.

Local history between church and village green

St. Peter’s Church was completed and consecrated in 1910. Its interior painting draws on Art Nouveau decorative styles. The Baroque pulpit altar originally came from Friedrichsfelde and is dated 1718. The church’s completion and the altar’s earlier provenance can therefore be regarded as distinct dates.

The Büdnerhaus is the oldest surviving residential house in Petershagen and was built around 1751. It opens to visitors every third Sunday of the month from 2 p.m. Confirm these opening hours before your trip.

The Angerscheune is part of the historic village-green ensemble in Petershagen. At Bahnhofstraße 50/51 stands the preserved Kossäten semi-detached house, a farmhouse more than 250 years old on the former village green. A medieval stone cross known as a penitential cross stands in the center of Eggersdorf. Together, these landmarks point to different aspects of local history: the church and its furnishings, buildings on the village green, and a stone cross.

Märkisch-Oderland as a regional setting

In the wider travel destination of Märkisch-Oderland, the Brecht-Weigel House in Buckow has been a museum since 1977. The literature museum holds readings, concerts, talks, discussions, film screenings, exhibitions, and special guided tours throughout the year. The individual offerings vary, so the specific program is what matters for each visit.

The Märkische Schweiz also offers its own choice of routes within the wider travel destination of Märkisch-Oderland: the Natura Trail is 17 km long, while the certified Märkische Schweiz Nature Park Route is just under 21 km. Check trail conditions locally. These regional routes complement the view of the trails available in Petershagen/Eggersdorf itself.
