Hiking

Bad Bentheim is known as the town of sandstone. So she also needs a sandstone museum: It is located at the foot of Bentheim Castle, which was also built from this hard and weather-resistant rock. Sandstone has been mined here in so-called hollows for 1000 years and is also known here as Bentheim gold. The museum is about the geology, about the quarrying and use of the stone in construction and handicrafts. It's worth a visit.

The Bad Bentheim Sandstone Museum is a museum housed in a historic Bentheim farmhouse with an extension building, which aims to bring the history of Bentheim sandstone (mining and use, trade and work) and the geology of this sandstone closer. Exhibits such as Romanesque baptismal fonts from the 12th and 13th centuries or fossils to illustrate the two permanent exhibitions can be viewed here.
