Highlight • Castle
For over 700 years, Bückeburg Castle has been a living mirror of time.
Around the 13th century, Bückeburg Castle was first documented under the name "buckeborch" as a residential and defensive tower.
It served to guard an important long-distance trade route that led from the Baltic to the Rhine.
The 16th century (1560-1620) had the greatest impact on Bückeburg Castle:
The medieval fortified fortress evolved into a splendid Renaissance castle.
Subsequently, in the 18th century (1732), the facades and interior were redesigned in the Baroque style.
Discover a bygone era of splendor on one of the numerous castle tours.

Comments
Notice
Fuchssteig near Papenbring not good.
Very steep and hard to find.
Stay on the main path
Away via Bad Eilsen, a lot of roads, I would take a different variant.
Ida tower way very nice
