A short holiday in Vreden and the surrounding area

The family-run and centrally located Hotel Meyerink is always a good choice for accommodation in Vreden. The building and all other rooms are steplessly accessible or can be reached via a lift. In the hotel restaurant, you can enjoy regional and home-style cooking in the evening.

Not had enough yet? Then why not head to the most beautiful summer location in Vreden for a drink - the OFFSHORE Berkelbeach. Recreation and relaxation for everyone at Vreden's Berkelsee! Enjoy your drink here directly on the beach, which is partly laid out with holding targets, and let your mind wander.

Discover Vreden on your own during the barrier-free city tour. You will visit the most beautiful part of the city centre and learn about Vreden's history. You will pass picturesque buildings and historical monuments. If you wish, you can also visit some old churches from the inside. All buildings are accessible without steps or via a ramp. A tactile model of the town of Vreden also awaits you. You can find the tour with further information on the individual stops here.

The kult in Vreden combines state-of-the-art architecture, museum, research and science like no other building in western Germany. A visit to the exhibition is therefore a must during your stay in Vreden.

For a break, we recommend the Café Altes Rathaus in the silhouette museum. The café has a small lunch menu and all rooms are accessible without steps.

If you are in Vreden, you should definitely plan a trip to the Zwillbrocker Venn. The nature reserve is characterised by wet meadows, moorland and heathland as well as shallow lakes. It is famous for its flamingos, which live here in the northernmost colony in the world! Maybe you'll spot one? A tour of the fens will give you plenty of opportunities to do so. The paths are mostly easy to walk and cycle on and have no inclines. The viewing platform is also accessible via a ramp. You can learn even more about the flamingos and nature conservation in the barrier-free exhibition at the Biostation. Another way to discover the Zwillbrocker Venn is on the Fun2Go tour. You can hire a Fun2Go bike at the Biostation (please note: advance booking is required) and choose one of two cycle tours(NaturTour I and NaturTour II) through the Münsterland parkland.

Raesfeld Castle is an absolute highlight that you shouldn't miss. With a height of 52.5 metres, Raesfeld Castle has the highest tower of all Westphalian castles! The castle can only be visited from the outside. The inclusive cultural experience trail around the castle is barrier-free and can be experienced independently. The trail is certified as "Travelling for All". All information on accessibility can be found here.

The Nature Park House right next to Raesfeld Castle is also worth a visit. The modern architecture, dominated by wood and glass, provides a contrast to the "wild" surroundings. Inside the visitor centre, you can find out more about the zoo and the local flora and fauna. The nature park centre is also certified as "Travel for All". Information can be found here.

There are many lovely little cafés around the castle where you can round off your excursion.

Please note: The cafés are only accessible via cobblestones.
