Geographically, Lippstadt is located on the eastern edge of the Münsterland region and is surrounded by numerous rivers, including the Lippe and the Alme. The city is characterised by its many green spaces, which are perfect for walks or bike rides.

One of the most important sights in Lippstadt is undoubtedly the historic town hall with its impressive 17th century façade. The Marienkirche church is also worth a visit - it was built in the Gothic style and houses some remarkable works of art.

Cultural highlights can also be discovered: The Haus Notthoff cultural estate, for example, shows changing exhibitions of contemporary art as well as concerts and readings. Another tip is the annual Old Town Festival in summer with live music on several stages and culinary specialities from the region.

Those who like good food will not be disappointed in Lippstadt either: Here you will find traditional Westphalian dishes such as pumpernickel or sauerbraten as well as international cuisine - the restaurant "Zum Anker" or "Die Rösterei" are recommended.

For outdoor activities, spring and summer are particularly suitable. The Lippeaue is a popular destination for cyclists and hikers, while the city park with its lake invites you to picnic or go boating.

Even when it rains, there is plenty to do in Lippstadt: The CabrioLi adventure pool offers water fun for the whole family, while the Cineworld cinema shows current blockbusters.

Lippstadt is probably at its most beautiful in spring, when the city is lined with blossoming trees and flowers - but it also has its charms in autumn with colourful deciduous forests around the Möhnesee.

Overall, Lippstadt is definitely worth a trip. With this travel guide, you have all the important information about the charming destination in the district of Soest at a glance!

    Nette Tour durch eine äußerst ruhige Gegend. Eignet sich gut für heiße Tage, da sie viel Schatten bietet. Mit einer kleinen Verlängerung nach Lipperode findet sich auch eine Eisdiele.

    Schöne einfache Rad-rundtour durch abwechslungsreiches Gebiet. Unbedingt einen Kaffeestopp in Rietberg machen. Die Stadt ist sehr hübsch! Wir waren im Café Münte. sie haben einen netten Biergarten und sind auf Radler eingestellt. Bei heißem Wetter lohnt sich eine Abkühlung im Mastholter See. Der "Endspurt" geht am Kanal, ganz romantisch unter altem Baumbestand entlang. Nett sind auch mehrere alte Brücken dort.

    Schöne kleine Runde viele naturnahe Wege und ganz viel Ruhe😀 Der Schießstand ist fast ein „lost Place“ und man vermutet den dort nicht. Spannend.

    Eine wirklich schöne, im Bereich des Naturschutzgebietes Muckenbruch sogar außerordentlich schöne kurze Runde. Der Kurpark von Bad Westerskappeln ist sehr hübsch und gepflegt. Dort ist Radfahren verboten.

    Eine flache und leichte Route durch die Landschaft nordlich von Lippstadt. Die Abschnitte entlang des Ufers der Glenne waren besonders reizvoll.

    Kurz nach dem Start am Golfplatz erwarteten wir erst nicht sehr viel, waren dann aber doch erstaunt über den größtenteils sehr schönen Weg.

    Die Römer Lippe Route hat uns vor 2 Jahren erstmals durch diese Region geführt. Heute war es nur diese kleine Runde. Entspanntes Radeln mit vielen Schatten spendenden Alleen halfen uns heute durch den heissen Tag. An allen wasserzugänglichen Stellen suchten Mensch und Hund nach Abkühlung. Schöne Wegführung, wenn offizielle Radwege verlassen wurde hatte das immer einen guten Grund.
