Geographically, Westerburg is located in the middle of the country and is surrounded by a hilly landscape. The town lies at the foot of the Schlossberg, on which the impressive castle complex stands.

The most important sights are the castle with its historic architecture and the picturesque old town with its narrow streets and half-timbered houses. Another highlight is the Tiergarten wildlife park, where you can observe native animals such as red deer or foxes.

Culturally, Westerburg also has a lot to offer: The Kulturhaus Alte Viehmarkt regularly offers concerts and theatre performances. Also worth seeing are the Museum of Local History and the town's numerous churches.

When it comes to culinary specialities, you can't miss the famous "Westerwälder Spießbraten" - a hearty roast pork from the grill with potato salad on the side.

There are also plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities: In summer, you can hike or bike along an extensive network of trails through the forest or over hilltops. In winter, the nearby ski resort Snow World Züschen beckons for skiing and snowboarding.

No need to worry about bad weather either: The town has an indoor swimming pool as well as a bowling alley to keep you entertained.

Overall, Westerburg is a destination with a lot of charm and history. Visitors can relax here in an idyllic landscape or get active - depending on their wishes and the time of year. A travel guide should definitely have this town in mind!
