Breydin: Discover the Landscape and Local History

Breydin lies on the edge of Barnim Nature Park, surrounded by forests and extensive agricultural land. Barnimer Heide Landscape Protection Area is part of Barnim Nature Park. Nature experiences and traces of local history give your stay a variety of highlights—from the Nonnenfließ to the half-timbered church and former palace park.

Walk along the Nonnenfließ and discover mill remains

The Nonnenfließ rises in Tuchen-Klobbicke, near the border with Heckelberg. Visitors can walk along the stream; in Tuchen-Klobbicke, you can explore the remains of the Mittelmühle and Neue Mühle. This combines a walk through the landscape with a glimpse of the mills that once stood by the water. If you like having a specific destination in mind when you go hiking, you will find not only the waterway here but also the remains of both mills as local places to explore.

Half-timbered church and cultural life

The half-timbered church in Tuchen-Klobbicke is a listed building and is also known as a wedding church. Amt Biesenthal holds wedding ceremonies there. If you are planning a ceremony, it is best to check availability in advance. The Fachwerkkirche Tuchen e.V. association organizes and hosts the church’s cultural program. The church thus represents several aspects of local history: as a half-timbered building, a venue for cultural events and a possible setting for a wedding ceremony.

Palace park and Breydin Castle in Trampe

In Trampe, the former palace park is one of the special attractions. Remains of the stone walls of Breydin Castle lie in the rear part of the park. The castle is mentioned in documents several times from 1308 onward; the palace park has been a listed site since 1981. The park and wall remains draw attention to different historical traces: the development of the palace park as well as the former castle site. For visitors interested in history, this place offers a different focus from the mill remains along the Nonnenfließ.

Activities and practical information

Horse-riding lessons are offered in Trampe. If you would like to include this activity in your plans, check availability before your trip. That way, you can include the offer in your itinerary without conflating it with walks along the Nonnenfließ or visits to historical sites.

The Froschmühle is woodland accommodation in Tuchen-Klobbicke where families with several children and groups can relax. Check current operations and availability for your travel dates. For a meal, there are dining options at the country hotel on the L 168 in the direction of Heckelberg; here, too, it is advisable to check what is currently on offer before setting out. From Eberswalde, take the B 168 to Trampe. From Grüntal, the route to Tuchen-Klobbicke follows the K 6006. Check road conditions before departure.
