With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Bielefeld, 16 miles away, has to offer. Old Town Hall, Sparrenberg Castle and Stadttheater Bielefeld alone make the drive out worth it. Situated 20 miles away, Hameln-Pyrmont is another popular destination. If you visit, be sure to check out Schloss Hämelschenburg, Museum Hameln and Theatre Hameln.
