Oberbarnim

Situated between Berlin and the Polish border, Oberbarnim offers the perfect mix of city and country life. The hilly landscape is criss-crossed by forests, lakes and rivers, making it a paradise for outdoor activities. In summer you can go swimming, hiking or cycling here. In winter there are opportunities for skiing or cross-country skiing.

If you are looking for cultural highlights, then you should definitely visit Neuhardenberg Castle. This impressive building was built in the 18th century and today houses a library as well as conference rooms for events of all kinds.

Another highlight is the Chorin Monastery - a Gothic building from the 13th century with a rich history as the religious centre of this region.

Oberbarnim also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: Try local specialities such as Barnimer Apfelmost (apple cider) or different types of beer from local breweries.

For rainy days, we recommend a visit to the Eisenhüttenstadt Museum of Technology or the Strausberg City Museum - both offer insight into the industrial history of this region.

And where is the most beautiful? That's hard to say, as every corner of Oberbarnim has its own charm. But we recommend a visit to the Märkische Schweiz Nature Park - a breathtaking landscape with numerous hiking trails and viewpoints.

Overall, Oberbarnim, Märkisch-Oderland is a destination that is definitely worth a trip. With this travel guide, you have all the important information at hand for your next trip to the region!
