Surrounded by forests, low mountain ranges and reservoirs, Lüdenscheid, the district town of the Märkischer Kreis, is located in the eastern Sauerland. Not only does the diverse nature here invite you to switch off and relax, Lüdenscheid also impresses with its cultural offerings, shopping and gastronomy, and as an educational and technology location.
One of the biggest attractions in Lüdenscheid is certainly the Phänomenta. The science center brings physics and technology to life with around 200 interactive experiment stations and amazes visitors of all ages. The 75-meter-high tower, which houses a Foucault pendulum, has long since become a visual landmark of the town.
The SIKU//WIKING Model World, with over 3,500 exhibits, makes the hearts of all miniature and model building fans beat faster, while visitors interested in culture are in the right place in the city's museums. Here you can take a look at post-1945 art and contemporary talents or go on a journey of discovery through the city's 750-year history. The regular guided tours of the city are also not to be missed. The Kulturhaus presents comedy and tragedy, dance and children's theater.
Those who love nature and want to get some fresh air can take advantage of the varied hiking trails in and around Lüdenscheid. Short or long routes, flat paths or more challenging routes - there's something for everyone here. When the rainy Sauerland weather strikes, and of course at other times too, the Nattenberg family pool will delight water lovers of all ages with its modern pools, slide and sauna area. There is even more sauna choice right next door in the sauna village, where various huts invite you to take a sauna and relax in an area of around 12,000 m².
Lüdenscheid is also a great place to celebrate. Particular highlights are the still young Bautz Festival, the town festival and the funfair on Hoher Steinert.
