A tour of the old town is worthwhile. There are many historic buildings, a description of which can be found here: tourist-schotten.de/fileadmin/user_upload/tourist-schotten.de/Bilder/Daten/Pdf/Historischer_Stadtrundgang_Schotten.pdf

Beautiful half-timbered houses.
Every Friday from 3 p.m. after-work market with regional marketers!

The medieval center built between the 14th and 18th centuries
The core of the city of Schotten invites you to explore with its lovingly renovated half-timbered houses, diverse restaurants and cafés, small alleyways and well-kept parks
dwell on.
The Alteburgpark is not far from the historic old town of Schotten.
The center of the park is a half-timbered building from the 16th century with its
water ditch fed from the Nidda. There is a variety of seating
a small bouldering wall and a boule alley. Schottens is somewhat hidden
"Nidda Waterfall" on the edge of the park.
There is still a lot to explore in the 14 districts of Schotten. Discover
historic half-timbered houses, idyllic villages and cultivated gastronomy.
