Travel Guide & Travel Information
The Pied Piper has made the town in the Weserbergland Nature Park famous far beyond its borders.

You can experience even more history in the Hochzeitshaus, one of the most beautiful buildings of the so-called Weser Renaissance. The Pied Piper House is the most beautiful half-timbered house in the city. You will find the right contrast to it in the modern city gallery.
