    The JBF Center is located about 10 km above Obernkirchen in a wonderful, secluded location. The surrounding forests of the Bückeberg and the nearby dinosaur tracks in the Obernkirchen sandstone quarries offer numerous excursion and hiking options.
    The house offers a whole range of accommodation and catering options with 170 beds in different categories, a self-catering area and a campsite. There are also four group and five seminar rooms, a multi-purpose hall and a cozy fireplace room. The outdoor area offers numerous sports and leisure opportunities with a sports field, extensive lawns and a fireplace.

    Hiking

    Cologne Cathedral also bears a trace of the Bückeberg, because when it was finally completed in 1850, Bückeberg sandstone, considered to be of very high quality, was chosen for its construction. This required the construction of housing for the miners. Up to 250 people lived here on the Bückeberg. When mining was relocated further east in the 1970s, the housing and factory buildings became redundant and stood empty. Today, the buildings house a youth and leisure center.
