August 7, 2025,Bahnhof - Altstadt Rheda - Schloss - Altstadt Wiedenbrück- Bahnhof

A beautiful tour through greenery, with lots of water, half-timbered houses, and an idyllic setting. The climb up the castle tower (€5 entrance fee) was a bit outside my comfort zone. But I managed the first ladder up to the first wooden floor. After that, it would have been a case of continuing on loose boards and ladders. Surely good …

It's nice that everyday people are back. Despite the vandalism, the Burckhard Kramer Foundation changed its mind and organized the exhibition at short notice in 2024.

And today, the next everyday people, again in Wiedenbrück. Wiedenbrück is a permanent exhibition, and this year the figures have been there for 20 years. Therefore, at some stations, the figures that were there 20 years ago are on display. Incredibly exciting.

And this time I arrived in time; I was able to see all the figures.

"Rheda-Wiedenbrück, a town of well-being and amazement" is the apt tourist motto of this Westphalian gem.

The two picturesque old towns of Rheda and Wiedenbrück are connected by the well-maintained Flora-Westfalica-Park, created for the State Garden Show in 1988, with Emsauen and lake, cycle paths and walking paths, beautiful bridges, great playgrounds and many secluded places to relax from a …

A lovely little stroll through Rheda on the way home.

A fantastic, spacious park, right next to the town center.

Beautiful half-timbered houses.

Delightful for a day trip. Would gladly visit again.

We commute from Leverkusen to Hamburg😊. Where haven't we stopped yet?... Rheda-Wiedenbrück. The pictures on the internet make you want to do a CityWalk. A tour is quickly put together.

Parking: in the middle of Rheda on the free car park. The weather is pretty mixed, but we're not discouraged. The many small and lovingly maintained half-timbered houses are beautiful …
