Tips

With a population of around 338,000, Bielefeld is the eighth largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia and ranks 18th in the list of major cities in Germany in terms of population. If you compare the city's areas, Bielefeld ranks eleventh. From the Sparrenburg, which is sixty meters higher than the center, you can see large parts of the city.

Didn't think that the few meters of altitude make such a brilliant view. Especially nice when it's dark, so the city's sea of lights comes out really well.

"Nobody knows exactly when it was built. The Sparrenburg - or more precisely Sparrenberg Castle - was first mentioned in a document in 1256.
A trip to Bielefeld's landmark is worthwhile at any time of the year, because the mighty fortress offers visitors a wonderful panoramic view of the university town in the Teutoburg Forest. The extensive castle grounds are located on one of the most beautiful high-altitude hiking trails in Germany and are accessible all year round."
