The beautiful surrounding countryside offers widely varying landscapes. Explore the region by bike or by car. Bückeburg itself has found a secure place in history for its castle, under the ownership of the Princes of Schaumburg-Lippe since 1304. In the centre of town stands an impressive Renaissance church, a world-famous helicopter museum, the Chapel of Rest, the unique Mausoleum adorned with its golden-mosaic dome, and numerous cosy inns and pubs of historical interest.
An excursion to a neighbouring town will take you to the former Hanseatic and Cathedral City of Minden, with its historical ties to Britain through the Battle of Minden in 1759, during the Seven Years War. The city lies to the north of „Porta Westfalica“, at the intersection of River Weser and the Mittellandkanal. The old town hall with its Gothic arcades, is definitely worth a visit.
Following the River Weser northwards you will arrive at the Castle of Petershagen. Continuing towards Loccum you will encounter the monastery and church founded in1163 at the birthplace of Wilhelm Busch in Wiedensahl. Nearby is the Steinhuder Meer - the largest inland lake in northwest Germany - with its manmade island and fortress, the Wilhelmstein.
Fairy-Tale Way, The Deutsche Märchenstrasse, then takes you the 20km or so to the medieval city of Hameln, the Hamlin of Pied Piper fame, with its ornate buildings dating back to the Weser Renaissance era. Regular theatrical performances depicting the Pied Piper legend are put on here for visitors during the summer month.
Next on the agenda could be an awe-inspiring walk into the hills to the impressive and enourmas monument commemorating Kaiser Wilhelm I. This stone figure is a landmark and can be seen for miles around. Or a look down into the Weser river valley from the Schaumburg Castle at Rinteln, or a drive down the famous Westphalian mill route, which joins mills powered by wind and water, or by horses.
