Bad Iburg

Bad Iburg was even home to a queen: Sophie Charlotte, the daughter of Prince-Bishop Ernst August and later Queen of Prussia, was born here in 1668.

The recognised Kneipp spa resort combines the elements of relaxation, nature, Kneipp and culture to create a unique experience. Active holidaymakers and health holidaymakers get moving: Whether on a hike on the Hermannsweg trail, a cycle tour on the Grenzgänger route, a relaxed shopping spree through the historic town centre or an exciting guided tour of the castle. Families enjoy the lofty heights on the treetop path or in the new climbing park.

TOP 10 sights
