Meerbeck is known for its picturesque half-timbered houses that characterise the historic townscape. Tourist attractions include Bückeburg Castle and the Ströhen Zoo, which delights with over 600 animals. Anyone interested in history should definitely plan a visit to the museum in the castle courtyard.

Cultural highlights can also be found here: The annual jazz festival attracts music lovers from all over the world and the theatre programme leaves nothing to be desired. Culinary delights are provided by regional specialities such as kale or asparagus - be sure to try the famous "Bückeburger Prinzessinnenkuchen"!

Those who like to be active will not be disappointed in Meerbeck: In summer, the nearby Steinhuder Meer invites you to swim and sail, while in winter there are opportunities for ice skating. Hikes through the surrounding forests are also recommended - it is particularly beautiful here in autumn at the time of leaf fall.

And what to do in bad weather? A visit to the Bad Eilsen spa promises pure relaxation! Here you can be pampered from head to toe and leave everyday life behind.

In Meerbeck it is beautiful everywhere, but walks through the old town as well as an excursion to the Steinhuder Meer Nature Park are particularly recommended. With this travel guide you now have all the information you need for a successful stay - Meerbeck is definitely worth a trip!

    Tolle Strecke, besonders bei sommerlichen Temperaturen, da es im Wald deutlich kühler ist. Empfehlenswert ist ein Abstecher nach Wiedensahl. Nicht nur weil dort das Geburtshaus von Wilhelm Busch steht, sondern weil es dort ein hervorragendes Cafe, das "Dörp Kaffee", gibt. Kein Chichi, dafür aber ein schönes Ambiente, herzliches Personal und ein super Kuchen! Außerdem gibt es einen einladenden Außenbereich. Auch Steinhude ist ein schönes Ziel, sofern man nicht gerade einen Tag erwischt, wo der Ort überlaufen ist. Soll der Rückweg über eine andere Strecke verlaufen, eignen sich einige Passagen entlang des Kanals.
