Monastery, monument and trails of the Romantic era
Loccum Monastery is one of the highlights of Rehburg-Loccum and has a history spanning 850 years. Romantik Bad Rehburg is a unique architectural and cultural monument. The monastery and monument therefore offer two different points of interest in the area’s cultural history.
The Historic Promenades are considered royal trails and date from the Romantic era, from 1795 to 1848. The Brothers Grimm Fairy-Tale Trail runs along the promenades. Wooden fairy-tale figures bring stories and legends to life there; the trail is also a magical walk along enchanted forest paths. This brings two aspects together along one route: the promenades’ historical character and the world of stories found on the fairy-tale trail.
The Wilhelm Tower offers far-reaching views of the surrounding area. If you would like to combine cultural sites with scenic views, it offers a different kind of experience in the town.
Forest stations and dinosaurs
Along the forest adventure trail, visitors to the woods, families with children and anyone looking to relax can explore the forest stations independently; a nature quiz offers another way to discover the activity stations. Unlike the fairy-tale trail, which draws on stories and legends, this trail focuses on forest stations and a quiz.
The dinosaur tour offers a different kind of experience: it is about 30 km long and includes eight activity stations, where cyclists and walkers can get up close to traces of the past. You can start the tour at any access point or station. Its length, number of stations and flexible starting point give you practical details to help plan your tour; check the current route conditions before setting off. Dinopark Münchehagen is considered Germany’s largest scientific adventure and theme park.
Culture in the wider Nienburg destination
In the wider Nienburg destination, the Nienburg Museum traces the development of the Middle Weser region across three historic buildings, from the presence of the first people to the present day. The museum includes the Asparagus Museum, the Biedermeier Garden and a lapidarium; the neoclassical villa offers deeper insights into the 19th century.
