Rehburg-Loccum brings together historical and nature-focused discoveries: Loccum Monastery, romantic promenades, forest trail stops and a Dino Tour cater to a range of interests. When planning your visit, you can decide whether architectural and cultural history, fairy-tale paths, independent exploration or a longer route should take priority. The Wilhelmsturm adds a sweeping view of the surrounding area to the mix.
Monastery, Architectural Heritage and Fairy-Tale Paths
Loccum Monastery is described as a highlight of Rehburg-Loccum and has an 850-year history. Romantik Bad Rehburg is a unique architectural and cultural monument.
The Historic Promenades are considered royal paths and date from the Romantic period of 1795 to 1848. The Brothers Grimm Fairy-Tale Trail runs along these promenades. Wooden fairy-tale figures bring fairy tales and legends to life there; the trail is also a magical stroll along enchanted forest paths. The difference between the two trails is their theme: the Fairy-Tale Trail features figures and stories, while the Forest Adventure Trail has activity stations and a nature quiz.
Forest Trail Stops, Dino Attractions and Views
Visitors to the Forest Adventure Trail, families with children and anyone looking to unwind can explore the forest trail stops independently. A nature quiz offers another way to discover the activity stations. You can explore the trail by visiting the stations or take part in the quiz.
Dinopark Münchehagen is considered Germany’s largest scientific adventure and theme park. Another dinosaur-themed option is the approximately 30 km-long Dino Tour, with eight activity stations. Cyclists and hikers can get up close to witnesses of the past along the way. The tour can be started at any access point or station. Check current route conditions before setting off.
While the Dino Tour offers a route with activity stations, the Wilhelmsturm focuses on the view: from there, you can enjoy a sweeping vista of the surrounding area. This lets you choose between a route, independent exploration at forest trail stops and a viewpoint, depending on your interests.
