Meppen

Geographically, Meppen is located on the river Ems and surrounded by forests and lakes. The town itself has a rich history and offers many sights such as the historic town hall or the St. Vitus Church.

A highlight of the region are also the numerous cycle paths through the Emsland. Especially in summer, it is worthwhile to go cycling or hiking here.

Culturally, there is also a lot to discover. The Kunsthaus Meppen regularly shows exciting exhibitions of modern art from all over the world. The Theater an der Wilhelmshöhe also attracts tourists time and again with its varied programme.

Those who like good food will not be disappointed in Meppen - typical dishes of the region include kale or asparagus dishes. You can enjoy these culinary highlights in the cosy inns.

Even if the weather is bad, there is no need to miss out on activities: For example, the indoor swimming pool "Emsbad" invites you to swim or you visit one of the museums such as the Lingen-Meppen Railway Museum of Local History (HMLME).

Of course, it is especially beautiful out in nature - a trip to Clemenswerth Castle with its impressive gardens or the Nordhorn Zoo with over 100 different species of animals is particularly recommended.

Meppen is worth a trip at any time of year. In spring and summer you can experience nature in full bloom, in autumn you can enjoy the golden October and in winter the Christmas market beckons with mulled wine and gingerbread.

Overall, Meppen offers a wide range of activities for every taste - whether you are interested in culture or nature. A visit here is definitely worthwhile!
