Wietmarschen is known for its beautiful churches and historic buildings such as Clemenswerth Castle, which is considered one of the most important baroque hunting lodges in Europe. Another highlight is the 13th century St. Nicholas Church with its impressive frescoes.

For cultural highlights, we recommend a visit to the Frenswegen Monastery or the Kunsthaus Kloster Gravenhorst, where you can enjoy contemporary art exhibitions. In summer, there are also regular concerts on the grounds.

Culinary Wietmarschen has a lot to offer - be sure to try the famous Bentheimer ham or visit the Brauhaus am Waldschlößchen for fresh beer and regional cuisine.

In terms of outdoor activities, there are many options: Hiking, cycling or canoeing along the river Vechte are particularly popular. Golfers also get their money's worth here - the Emstal golf course offers challenging holes in a breathtaking setting.

If it ever rains, we recommend a visit to the De Grote Koppel leisure pool or relax with a cup of tea in the cosy Café Meine Zeit.

Wherever you start your journey, Wietmarschen is definitely worth a visit. With its rich history and breathtaking landscapes, it is a perfect destination for anyone looking to relax and unwind. We hope our Travel Guide will help you make the most of your stay in Wietmarschen!

    Eine der TOP Touren im Rahmen des Projektes "Grafschafter SpurenSuche ". Abwechslungsreich, kulturell und super zu laufen. Ein besonderes Highlight ist im August die Apfel Ernte im Hochzeitswald am Glaubensweg und der Stiftsbusch. Der Abstecher am Nord-Süd-Kanal ist einfach traumhaft. Leider hatten wir großes Pech zu Hälfte der Tour, es schüttete wie aus Eimern. Entschädigung gabs dann aber beim "Boxenstopp " im Stiftscafe Menke.

    Schöne Wanderung entlang Wiesen, Felder und Waldgebiete in der Umgebung von Wietmarschen. Die erste Hälfte gefiel uns am besten, ab Kilometer 6 ging es ca. 3 Kilometer über kleine Landstraßen durch industriell geprägte Landwirtschaft, was nicht ganz so spannend war. Im Anschluss wurde man jedoch nochmal durch ein schönes Waldgebiet belohnt.
