Discover Hagen by Hire Car
Known as the “Gateway to the Sauerland”, Hagen is part of North Rhine-Westphalia and serves as an important link between the Ruhr region and Westphalia.
You can get around the city comfortably and independently here with a hire car. This also has the advantage that it can withstand spontaneous and unplanned excursions.
Sights in Hagen
One of the highlights in Hagen is Hohenlimburg Castle, which is located in the district of the same name. Dating from the 16th century, the castle is one of the most popular destinations in the region and a true voyage of discovery into past centuries. High up on the battlements of the castle, you have a breathtaking view over the city.
A real crowd-puller is the public observatory, which attracts up to 5,000 visitors a year. Right next to the observatory is also another sight not to be missed – the Eugen Richter observation tower.
This tower is part of the “Three Towers Trail” and forms an impressive ensemble with the Kaiser-Friedrich-Turm and the Bismarck-Turm. Another greeting from the 13th century sends the moated castle Werdringen. On an exploratory tour through today’s museum, a unique insight into times long past opens up to the visitor.
Furthermore, the “Middle Ages Spectaculum”, a medieval market that attracts thousands of visitors, takes place here every year. Other buildings worth seeing in Hagen are the “lange Riecke” – a half-timbered house settlement, the Haus Harkorten and the Villa Post, which today houses the town’s elementary school.
Leisure in Hagen
With much of the city still pristine forest land, nature lovers are bound to have a special relationship with Hagen. The banks of the four rivers that meander through the city are also great for walks.
