Very worth seeing town hall. Forms a beautiful backdrop along with other historic buildings. There are of course ice cream parlors, cafes and restaurants in the adjacent streets.

The helicopter museum is in the immediate vicinity.

A very beautiful tour along the Mittelland Canal and the Weser River. A real highlight is the water junction in Minden. It's truly impressive how the Mittelland Canal bridges the Weser. Bückeburg, with its castle, castle park, and town center, is also very beautiful.
