Treplin between the Fließ Valley, forest and village history

Treplin lies on the edge of the extensive “Trepliner Seen, Booßner and Alt Zeschdorfer Fließtal” landscape and nature reserve. From here, trails lead in different directions and offer different experiences: to the south, meadows, forest and a watershed take centre stage; to the north, a hike combines mill ruins with the former park of Hohenjesar Castle. If you’re looking for accommodation in Treplin, you can first consider whether nature trails, local history or a combination of both will shape your trip.

Hiking trails with different destinations

To the south, trails cross meadows and forest tracks to the extensive Booßner Gehege woodland and the Golden Fließ. The latter is a watershed between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. The route brings together varied landscapes and a distinctive geographical feature: meadows and forest tracks are part of the experience, as is the Fließ, where the watershed can be explained. This makes it a particular focus when you want to explore the landscape and natural environment.

To the north, a hiking trail passes through the “Trepliner-Alt-Zeschdorfer Fließtal” nature reserve. It passes the ruins of Treplin Mill, the Hammel Bridge and Herrenmühle, and leads as far as the former park of Hohenjesar Castle. The Salomon Trail also runs through the nature reserve: it passes the former Herrenmühle and its carp ponds, reaches the ruins of Treplin watermill and continues into the village as far as the volunteer fire brigade building. The destinations distinguish the two routes: the northern hiking trail ends at the former park, while the Salomon Trail continues into the village. Check current trail conditions before setting out.

Village history and regional culture

There is also a point of cultural and historical interest in the village itself: a listed Neo-Gothic village church stands in ruins on Lindenstraße. Its architectural style and ruined state provide a different focus from the landscape trails. Forty-six fallen soldiers were laid to rest in Treplin’s church cemetery; 20 of them are unidentified. These figures add a somber dimension to the village’s history and commemorate those buried there.

In Buckow, within the wider Märkisch-Oderland destination, the Brecht-Weigel House has been a museum since 1977. The literary museum hosts readings, concerts, talks, discussions, films, exhibitions and special guided tours throughout the year. As the programme varies, it’s worth checking specific dates before making plans.

Märkisch-Oderland also offers hiking and cycling on a different scale from the trails around Treplin. In Märkische Schweiz, you can explore the 17 km Natura Trail and the certified Märkische Schweiz Nature Park Route, which is just under 21 km long. Their different lengths provide a practical guide for planning your trip; check trail conditions locally. The wider destination also offers cycling along the Oder-Neiße Cycle Route. The Oderbruchbahn Cycle Route crosses the Oderbruch landscape, linking the ride with the early 20th century and the history of rail travel. Its main route runs from Fürstenwalde/Spree or, alternatively, from Müncheberg to Wriezen.
