With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Lippstadt, 18 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Alberssee Beach, City Theater and Lippstadt Golf Club. Don’t miss Rietberg either! Just 18 miles away, Wilfried Koch Museum, Rietberg Town Hall and Gartenschaupark are must-sees here.
