Augustdorf is a small town with a passion for greenery and this makes it look like a natural extension of the Teutoburg Forest that borders it beautifully. Gardens, flower beds, and blossoms are everywhere from private courtyards to the sidewalks.
Speaking of sidewalks, you’ll soon notice that they are almost the same level as the streets and just demarcated as sidewalks.
In spring time the meadows come alive with blooms and join in the general aesthetic efforts. So, nature lovers, this is certainly your kind of destination! :-)
Augustdorf also welcomes the outdoor types with plenty of biking and hiking opportunities. Throw in horse riding and bird watching and you really have plenty to do if you want it all and soon.
The town is big on sports and has about 9 sports clubs offering everything from Kempo to Nordic Walking. This should give you an idea of how much they love their sporting activities. Schlingsbruch, the town’s recreational area, is where you should head for a good game of tennis with the added attraction of an 80 square meter barbecue.
Augustdorf’s magnificent history that dates back to the Old Ages is very much in evidence as you explore the historical monuments. Check out the burial mounds dating back to the Bronze Age that is quite an attraction here.
The hunting lodge in Lopshorn has stories of its own to narrate. Historic battles are commemorated in the vicinity of the Hermann Grote. Visit the old elementary school for its immense historic significance.
Augustdorf has a lively cultural scene which brings the whole community together in bursts of celebration. Take the Augustdorf Variety Show which draws huge enthusiastic crowds. There’s a communal barbecue that sends up appetizing aromas into the distance welcoming one and all. You get to enjoy a number of shows from mime to magic to visual comedy and juggling.
Augustdorf has other fun things such as the Adlerwarte Berlebeck or the Eagle Room. Once that’s done you can go soak in the huge outdoor swimming pool, a fun water world for all ages.
