May 27, 2024,Historischer Stadtrundgang durch Rheda-Wiedenbrück und die Flora Westfalica
Wow...that was a lovely trip today through the Flora Westfalica Park to Rheda-Wiedenbrück. The path meandered along the Ems and through the Ems floodplain. From there you had a lovely view back to the back of Rheda Castle. It was definitely worth using the small, tranquil side paths. Again and again the path led over bridges over the tributaries of …

Rheda-Wiedenbrück an der Ems is characterized by its moated castle, which looks beautiful on the outside, the pretty half-timbered houses and small streets. The two historic towns are connected to the former site of the State Horticultural Show of 1988, the Flora Westfalica. This nature and recreation park is about 3 km long. There are also play and leisure areas. …

Today I went out again under the motto "Out and about 🚂🚂in NRW." Nice little town, beautifully landscaped paths, especially for 🚲. Unfortunately, not everyone in the castle park adhered to the leash requirement 🐕‍🦺; that wasn't very relaxing for me. Overall, it was a worthwhile trip ✴️

Today we took the train to Rheda - Wiedenbrück. There and back was a bit adventurous. We had the full program. Train cancellation, train delay and train diversion. So everything is normal if you don't have appointments. So Rheda - Wiedenbrück was relaxed. Incidentally, the State Horticultural Show was held here in 1988. Everything has been well preserved and cared …

It was a fantastically beautiful tour.. from Rheda train station almost always along the Ems and through the Emsauen to Rheda Wiedenbrück.. not to forget the two historic old towns.. 👌👌

Luckily, the sun lured me out again today. So, just before closing time, I managed to see the everyday people in the picturesque town of Rheda-Wiedenbrück and take photos for all the enthusiasts. This town and the monastery are worth several visits a year. The people are more friendly and joyful than the "everyday people" who look out into the …

Start: station Rheda Wiedenbrück

During the tour, I combined the two city tours of Rheda and Wiedenbrück with a hike through the Flora Westfalica Park and a visit to the "Everyday People" exhibition.
Refreshment stop: We were in the Lamäng in Wiedenbrück. The tarte flambée and salad did not convince us. Originally I had planned your cafés new times and …
