Discover the region

Selm is located in North Rhine-Westphalia on the edge of the Ruhr area. The town is known for its idyllic landscapes with numerous lakes and rivers. One of the most beautiful places to relax is the Selm reservoir - a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts such as sailors or surfers. In summer you can sunbathe and swim here or take a boat trip.

Another attraction is Cappenberg Castle - a historic building from the 11th century with impressive architecture as well as a museum on the history of the region. The Alte Amtshaus is also worth a visit: exhibitions are held here regularly.

Culture enthusiasts should definitely make a detour to the theatre on Wilhelmstraße - exciting productions are staged here regularly. Another highlight is the annual Jazz Days in September.

In addition to the cultural highlights, Selm also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: Why not try the famous Westphalian dish Pfefferpotthast or enjoy fresh bread from the local master baker.

For active holidaymakers there are many opportunities to explore nature in and around Selm. In spring and summer you can go hiking or cycling - for example on the Ruhrtal cycle path. The climbing forest in nearby Unna is also a highlight for adventure seekers.

And if the weather doesn't play along? Then we recommend a visit to the indoor swimming pool in Selm or a shopping tour through the old town of Unna.

Selm, Unna is definitely worth a trip - whether as a couple, family or group. Discover the beauty of this region for yourself!
