Situated on the river Leine, Alfeld offers a beautiful landscape with green meadows and picturesque lakes. A highlight of the town is the UNESCO World Heritage Site Fagus-Gropius Werk, which provides a glimpse of Germany's architectural history.

Tourist attractions also include Marienburg Castle and St. Nicolai Church with its Baroque architecture. Culture is enriched by the annual art market and the theatre and concert programme.

Culinary Alfeld has a lot to offer - from traditional dishes to modern cuisine. Be sure to try local specialities such as bratwurst or asparagus dishes from the Hannover region.

For outdoor activities, we recommend hiking along the Leineweg or cycling tours through the surrounding countryside of Hildesheim in summer. In winter you can enjoy skating at the ice rink.

Even if it rains, you don't have to be bored: Visit one of the museums in town, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art, or take a guided tour of Alfeld's old town.

Where is the best place to be in this beautiful town? We recommend a walk through the historic market square with its half-timbered houses and Renaissance-style town hall.

Alfeld (Leine), district of Hildesheim, is definitely worth a trip! Use this Travel Guide as inspiration for your next visit and experience the beauty of this town for yourself.

    Wunderbarer Wanderweg. Bitte seid aber speziell auf dem Ith Kamm vorsichtig, da es hier auf den schmalen Wegen einen sehr hohen Zeckenbefall gibt. Unbedingt vorher einsprühen oder entsprechende Kleidung tragen und abends absuchen ist Pflicht, da sonst Gesundheitliche Gefahr droht.
