Maps and trails
Geographically, Rinteln is located on the western edge of the Weserbergland and is surrounded by picturesque hills and forests. The region is known for its scenic beauty and offers a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or canoeing along the Weser.

The old town of Rinteln with its half-timbered houses and narrow streets is a real eye-catcher. Here you can experience the history of the town up close: Visit the Eulenburg Museum or stroll through the town park with its baroque gardens.

Another highlight are the numerous cultural events that take place here. The annual wine festival in summer attracts many tourists; as does the traditional Christmas market at Advent time.

For culinary connoisseurs, there is a large selection of restaurants and cafés - be sure to try local specialities such as "Rintelner Torte" or "Schaumburger Knipp".

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the indoor playground "Kids Arena" or the swimming pool "Wasserparadies". A trip to the nearby Bückeburg Castle is also worthwhile in bad weather.

Where is it most beautiful in Rinteln? Without a doubt on the market square with its magnificent 16th century town hall and imposing fountain.

In summary, Rinteln, Schaumburg is a destination that is definitely worth a trip. With its historical sights, cultural highlights and outdoor activities, it offers something for everyone - whether you are travelling alone or with the family. We hope this travel guide helps you with your planning and wish you an unforgettable stay in Rinteln!
