Discover Werben: Village Heritage and Trails

Werben combines a rural landscape with distinctive traces of the past and a variety of ways to spend the day. Forests, open countryside, and the village shape the landscape. A row of lime trees on Lindenweg is listed as the only natural monument in the former municipal area of Werben. There is also an oven that is more than 100 years old: several celebrations were held there in the past, and it produced fresh, crusty bread. In Werben, nature, village history, and baking traditions come together.

Church Trails of Varying Lengths

The five-church circular trail of the Christinendorf-Glienick parish district connects five churches in Glienick, Nunsdorf, Märkisch Wilmersdorf, Christinendorf, and Schünow. The core route is 29 kilometres long. The village of Werben also belongs to the parish district. A separate route is the church walking trail from Werben to Glienick, which is over 3 kilometres long.

The stated distances provide a practical guide for planning your day: the church walking trail is considerably shorter than the five-church circular trail. Check current route conditions before setting out, as route information may change.

Horses and the Märkisch Landscape

Werben Horse Boarding Stables has around 90,000 square metres of pasture. It offers opportunities to ride out into the idyllic Märkisch countryside surrounding the riding facility, as well as riding instruction for curious beginners and interested riders with more experience. Contact the horse boarding stables directly before your visit to discuss possible rides and training options.

Werben brings together a range of experiences: trails of varying lengths, nature and village history, and riding. When choosing accommodation, consider which of these aspects of the village you would like to focus on during your trip.

In the wider destination of Zossen, the monuments circular trail offers another hiking option. It is about 11 kilometres long, starts at the railway station, and passes through the vineyards before reaching the “Alter Krug” Museum. You can hike the whole circular route or choose sections to suit you. The Church of the Holy Trinity in Zossen was consecrated in 1735. The plastered building has a transverse-hall church floor plan that is unusual for the region; its interior is in a simple Baroque style.

In Wünsdorf, the Garrison Museum and the “Roter Stern” Museum tell the story of military history, from the Kaiser era through the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich to the Russian military town. In central Wünsdorf is an international book town, with 300,000 books covering every field in its antiquarian bookshops. The offerings there also include guided tours, some of them underground, of the book and bunker town.

Activities on the water are another feature of the wider destination of Zossen: the water-ski park in the district of Horstfelde offers water skiing, while hydro-bikers can take in Zossen’s green surroundings on the Notte Canal. When planning, check which leisure activities are currently available.
