Dorsten

Geographically, Dorsten and Recklinghausen are located in the western part of Germany, surrounded by the picturesque landscape of the Münsterland. The region is known for its idyllic cycle paths along green meadows and fields as well as numerous lakes for swimming or fishing.

In Dorsten you can explore the historic old town, which exudes a unique charm with its half-timbered houses and narrow streets. A highlight is Lembeck Castle with its impressive baroque garden. The Jewish Museum Westphalia also offers interesting insights into the history of the Jewish community in the region.

Recklinghausen, on the other hand, scores with its modern architecture such as the Ruhrfestspielhaus or the Icon Museum. Art lovers should also not miss the Hohenhof Sculpture Park, where contemporary works are presented in a beautiful park setting.

Culinary-wise, both cities have a lot to offer: Try typical dishes such as Pfefferpotthast (a hearty stew) or Kornblumenkäse (a regional hard cheese). You can also enjoy local beers in cosy restaurants.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to Movie Park Germany in Bottrop, which is only a short drive away. Here you can experience exciting rides and shows.
