Discover Petershagen/Eggersdorf

Discover Petershagen/Eggersdorf through its waters, trails and village history. The town has marked hiking and cycling trails, as well as historic buildings and landmarks. When planning your trip, you can pursue a range of interests: spend a day by the water, get active on a circular trail or explore older village buildings. Deciding which of these aspects will shape your stay is a helpful starting point for choosing accommodation.

Lake Bötzsee and trails

Lake Bötzsee borders the Eggersdorf district to the north and lies within the “Blumenthaler Wald- und Seengebiet” nature conservation area. Bötzsee Lido has a sandy beach, extensive sunbathing lawns, shade-providing trees and a pier with a diving tower. A lift at the pier provides wheelchair users with access to the water. Thus, both the location within the nature conservation area and the lido’s specific facilities are notable aspects of Lake Bötzsee.

The “In and around Petershagen-Eggersdorf” hiking and cycling map covers 13 circular routes ranging from 7 to 30 km. They run along lake shores and through woodland, residential and open-field areas. When choosing a route, you can therefore consider both distance and scenery: lakeshore, woodland, residential areas and fields offer different surroundings. Local hiking and cycling trails are marked with more than 400 signposts.

One specific route to consider is the Seeblick Loop: Lake Bötzsee. The circular trail is 11.50 km long and rated moderate. Its length can be compared with the 7-to-30-km range; this route listing also gives a difficulty rating for this particular trail. This allows you to compare one route with specific details against a wider selection of circular trails.

Historic traces in Petershagen and Eggersdorf

St Peter’s Church was completed and consecrated in 1910. Its interior decoration is inspired by Art Nouveau styles, while the Baroque pulpit altar dates from 1718 and originally came from Friedrichsfelde. The decoration and altar thus offer different art-historical points of interest; the altar’s origins also provide a distinct historical connection.

The Büdnerhaus is the oldest documented residential building in Petershagen and was built around 1751. It opens to visitors on the third Sunday of each month from 2 p.m. Confirm the date before you travel so that this regular opening day fits your plans.

The Angerscheune is part of the historic village green ensemble in Petershagen. By contrast, the Kossätendoppelwohnhaus at Bahnhofstraße 50/51 is a surviving farmhouse on Eggersdorf’s former village green and is more than 250 years old. The barn’s significance lies in its place within an ensemble, while the house is a surviving building on the former village green. In Eggersdorf’s village centre, the Sühnekreuz is also classified as a medieval stone cross. The ensemble, farmhouse and stone cross each offer a different way to explore local history.
