Rehburg-Loccum for friends of fairy tails  

Along the historical promenade paths in Bad Rehburg, a Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale Path (from 09/2020) is waiting to be discovered. On beautiful forest paths with magnificent views of the Steinhuder Lake, the walk becomes an experience for young and old. There you will also find the Wilhelms Tower, built in 1847 and named after Count Wilhelm zu Schaumburg-Lippe, where Rapunzel can be found.

The murmur of the Meerbach brook in Rehburg tells of mermaids, kings’ sons, treasures and the True Love. And without the constantly quarrelling giants who lived in the Rehburg mountains and the Düsselburg, Steinhuder Lake would not have come into being at all.

The Jacob's Spring in the Loccum monastery forest, on the other hand, promises all sorts of miraculous effects and if "the chicken who wanted to go to Loccum" had not arrived there, the whole world would no longer exist today.

Münchehagen was once home to the oldest inhabitants of Lower Saxony, and even today you can personally experience traces of them in the Dinosaur Park.
