Where history meets warmth!

Here, where the Cherusci once fought against the Romans, castles, palaces, and historic old towns tell of an eventful past. Traces of the legendary Battle of Varus are just as present as the splendor of the Lippe princely era, which still echoes today in magnificent residences and well-kept parks. Lippe is a place where you can not only see cultural history, but also feel it – authentically, closely and impressively.

 

But it is not only history that makes this region so special. It is above all the people who shape Lippe. Down-to-earth, warm-hearted and naturally open, they welcome their guests with genuine Lippe hospitality that comes from the heart. Whether chatting in the village café, at the weekly market, or on one of the many cycling or hiking trails: in Lippe, encounters are not the exception, but part of the experience.

Discover a land that preserves its stories while creating space for new ones – a place where past and present come together in a very special way. Lippe is waiting for you – with open arms and many exciting moments.
