Geographically, Legden lies on the edge of the Hohe Mark-Westmünsterland nature park and is thus an ideal starting point for hikes or bicycle tours through the idyllic landscape. But the town centre itself also has a lot to offer. The 13th-century St. Brictius Church and Varlar Castle are two impressive historical buildings that should not be missed.

For those interested in culture, there are numerous events such as concerts, theatre performances or art exhibitions in the Varlar Forum or in Haus Terhörne. A special highlight is the annual Schützenfest at the end of August, when the whole town is on its feet.

Culinary Legden also has a lot to offer - here, meat lovers in particular get their money's worth. The regional speciality "Bauernschmaus" consists of different types of meat with potatoes and sauerkraut and is often served in cosy inns.

And if it rains? Then a visit to the Heimathaus Legden-Billerbeck e.V., where you can gain an insight into the history of the region, or to the indoor swimming pool for a relaxing swim, is worthwhile.

It is particularly beautiful in Legden in spring and summer, when nature blossoms and you can be active outdoors. But autumn also has its charm with the colourful leaves and the harvest festival at the end of September.

So pack your bags and let yourself be inspired by this charming place - our travel guide for Legden, Borken will help you!
