Büren is located in the north-east of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The town is known for its idyllic location between the Egge Mountains and the Teutoburg Forest. Here you can go on a variety of hiking and cycling tours or simply enjoy nature.

One of the most important sights in Büren is the 17th century Fürstenberg Castle with its impressive baroque garden. A visit to the historic old town is also worthwhile: discover the market square with its half-timbered houses or visit the town church of St. Nikolaus.

Cultural highlights can also be found here: The Liesborn Abbey Museum displays exhibits on the history of Liesborn Abbey as well as works of art from the Middle Ages to the present day. Those who prefer music should definitely visit the annual music festival "Bürener Kulturwochen".

Büren also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: Try regional specialities such as Westphalian Pickert (a potato pancake) or Pumpernickel bread directly on site at the numerous farm shops and farmers' markets.

For outdoor activities, there are many options in Büren: In summer, you can swim in the outdoor pool or enjoy yourself on the golf course. In winter, we recommend a sleigh ride through the snow-covered landscape of the Teutoburg Forest.

Even if the weather doesn't cooperate, Büren offers alternatives: Visit the indoor swimming pool "Aquafun", for example, or take a trip to nearby Paderborn with its museums and cultural offerings.

Where is the most beautiful? That's hard to say, because every place has its own beauty. But a walk along the Alme or a picnic in the baroque garden of Fürstenberg Castle are definitely unforgettable experiences!

So Büren is definitely worth a trip - whether for nature and culture lovers or just to relax. This Travel Guide is designed to help you plan your stay in the best possible way!

    Eine schöne Strecke mit viel Wald auf oft nicht markierten Wegen. Bei unserer Wanderung haben wir abseits des Ortes und der Hütte keine Leute gesehen. Die Pfade sind jetzt im Herbst natürlich nass und matschig, aber das kennt man ja. Feste Schuhe und Wanderstöcke nutzen, dann ist alles top!

    Schöne abwechslungsreiche Runde mit herrlichen Fernsichten. Die Almeauen haben wir zwars weggelassen, da wir uns Büren nochmal separat anschauen wollen. Hat uns aber trotzdem gut gefallen.
