Discover Hornow-Wadelsdorf

When looking for a hotel in Hornow-Wadelsdorf, you can plan your stay around two themes: historic buildings in Hornow and SchokoLadenLand Hornow. The attractions offer different highlights, from architectural history to an interactive demonstration workshop. This makes it easy to decide in advance which experiences are especially important for planning your trip.

Manor House and Church in Hornow

The manor house and park at Schulstraße 33 in Hornow are listed in the heritage register of the State of Brandenburg; the edition is dated January 1, 2025. St. Martin’s Church in Hornow was built in the 13th century. The information highlights different aspects of history: for the manor house, the heritage listing is the focus, while for the church, it is the period in which it was built. If you include culture in your travel plans, these two sites offer different ways to explore Hornow’s architectural history.

SchokoLadenLand Hornow

SchokoLadenLand Hornow includes a petting zoo and an interactive demonstration workshop. These appeal to different visitor interests: animals and hands-on activities are the focus here, while the manor house and church offer a historical perspective. If the interactive demonstration workshop is an essential part of your plans, check the latest visitor information in advance.

Spremberg: City History, Landscape and Culture

Spremberg lies in the green valley of the Spree and at the heart of Lusatia. As early as the 11th century, an early German tower castle was built at the site of today’s Spremberg Castle to protect the Spree crossing. The castle houses the Niederlausitz Heath Museum. Its exhibitions explore the history of the region and feature documents about the life and work of the writer Erwin Strittmatter, who was born in Spremberg.

The Niederlausitz Heath Museum is largely accessible. Visitors with limited mobility and parents with strollers can enter the building without steps via the courtyard; an easily accessible elevator serves all exhibition levels. This information refers to the museum in Spremberg.

The landscape is another distinctive feature of Spremberg: the small Slamener Kuthen Nature Park preserves a section of the natural Spree floodplain and is part of the Slamer Heide Landscape Protection Area. The completed part of NABU’s concept includes the Nature–Experience–Energy hiking trail and a short trail through the Kuthen primeval forest. Numerous plant and animal species listed on the Red List can be found in the Kuthen primeval forest.

For views of the city, the Bismarck Tower in Spremberg City Park has two viewing platforms overlooking the town in the Spree Valley. The European long-distance path E10 also runs through the park, passing the fountain, the lapidarium and Sängerblick. City tours of Spremberg can be booked directly with the guides. A bookable historical city tour presents the story of Jutta von Kittlitz and Seyfried von Loeben in a portrayal set in the late 11th century.

In the center of Spremberg, well-kept townhouses, shops, cafés and restaurants line the narrow streets around the market square. The Sonntagsche House is considered the city’s oldest residential building. The weekly market takes place twice a week and offers fresh food as well as an opportunity to connect with the local community. If you plan to visit the market, check its current schedule in advance.
