Discover Werben: Countryside, church trails and horse riding

Werben draws attention to its rural landscape, church trails and equestrian activities. Wooded areas, open countryside and the village itself shape the landscape. The row of lime trees on Lindenweg is the only natural monument in the former municipal area of Werben. The landscape provides the general setting, while the row of trees is a specific point of interest. When choosing your stay, you can focus on different things: nature and landscapes, church trails or local history.

Church Trails and Route Lengths

At its core, the 5-Church Circular Trail is 29 kilometres long and connects churches in Glienick, Nunsdorf, Märkisch Wilmersdorf, Christinendorf and Schünow. Another route is the church hiking trail from Werben to Glienick, which is three kilometres long. For planning your walk, the main difference is the length: a circular route that is 29 kilometres at its core, compared with a three-kilometre route between Werben and Glienick. Check the route information before setting out, as details and conditions may change.

Horses and Riding Lessons

Pferdepension Werben offers another focus. It has around 90,000 square metres of pastureland and offers opportunities for trail riding in the idyllic Märkisch countryside around the riding facility. Riding lessons are available for curious beginners and interested, more experienced riders. Check trail-riding options and lesson availability directly with Pferdepension Werben before your visit.

The Village Oven and Local History

The more than 100-year-old bread oven is another point of interest in Werben. Several celebrations have been held there in the past, and fresh, crusty loaves have come out of the oven. Alongside the trails and countryside, the oven offers a glimpse into local history, including past celebrations and bread-making.

More Highlights in the Wider Zossen Destination

In the wider Zossen destination, a circular trail passes several monuments. It is about 11 kilometres long, starts at the railway station and runs via the vineyards to the “Alter Krug” Museum. You can walk the whole route or choose sections to suit you. The museum at Weinberge 15 is a museum and meeting place, as well as a listed monument of local history in the Mark region. Zossen is also home to the Church of the Holy Trinity, which was consecrated in 1735. Its plastered building has the regionally unusual floor plan of a transverse-hall church; the interior is simply furnished in the Baroque style. Check access arrangements before visiting individual sites.

Zossen’s tourist attractions are spread across ten districts. In Wünsdorf, the Garrison Museum and the “Roter Stern” Museum cover military history from the imperial era through the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich to the Russian military town. The old Maybach I and Zeppelin bunker complexes can now be explored with expert guidance; check access in advance. In autumn, a three-day wine festival has been a regular part of Zossen’s annual events calendar for many years. Check the specific dates for your trip and whether the festival is still taking place.
