In Geseke, the many small streets and alleys, the market square and the pedestrian zone as well as the Thoholte Park in the heart of the city invite you to stroll and linger. In addition to the half-timbered houses along the historic Hellweg, the beautiful churches in Baroque, Romanesque and late Romanesque style in the surroundings of the open Geseker Bach and the Rosenteich are worth seeing as well as the completely preserved ramparts and the districts with their churches, the manor in Störmede and Schloss Eringerfeld. Extensive cycling and hiking trails, the Way of St. James, idyllic forests and nature reserves, the Gösselkirmes and a variety of cultural and sporting activities characterize Geseke and provide throughout the year occasions for a visit, an extended hike or a relaxing and at the same time eventful bike ride.
