Highlights on the route
The Sparrenburg in Bielefeld is an imposing castle complex from the 13th century. It is enthroned on a hill above the old town. The castle is Bielefeld's landmark and one of the most popular excursion destinations in the region. It is worth visiting the information center at the castle and the Anna & Hermann listening station just outside the castle grounds on the promenade.
The "Iron Anton" is one of the few metal Bismarck towers, which was built in 1895 and faithfully restored in 2003. The observation tower is located east of Bielefeld on the Ebberg on the Hermannsweg and offers a view to the north and south over the Teutoburg Forest.
The Romanesque Alexanderkirche in Oerlinghausen is a church worth seeing in the heart of the old town. The organ with its carved organ case from 1688, the stained glass windows in the choir of the church and the oldest bell in the parish from 1547 deserve special attention.
