Gartenschaupark Rietberg
The Rietberg Garden Show Park spans 40 hectares and offers a wide variety of experiences. Nestled between the Rietberger Emsniederung nature reserve and the Neuenkirchen neighborhood, the park is a barrier-free paradise for garden lovers. Lushly blooming flower beds and thematically designed gardens invite visitors to linger. The expansive lakeside landscapes, complete with a sandy beach and beach chairs, offer pure relaxation. For children, there are numerous play areas, including an impressive slide tower with a jungle bridge and the “schnurstracks” climbing park. Overnight accommodations in camping pods and little witch’s cottages right in the park offer a special experience. The park also features numerous sports and recreational activities, including mini-golf, beach volleyball, and a fitness trail. A boat rental service and Kneipp pools round out the offerings. The Rietberg Garden Show Park is a place that harmoniously combines nature experiences and relaxation.
