Culture of Gummersbach. Places to visit - old town, temples, theaters, museums and palaces

Gummersbach is a paradise for tourists preferring calm and quiet cities, where people are never in a hurry. Here, life flows measuredly, like a walk in a park, which would be a real gift for those who decide to visit Gummersbach. Speaking of parks worthy of visiting while in Gummersbach, Zweckverband Naturpark Bergisches Land is the most popular one. On its territory, here is a lot of interesting sculptures. Stadtgarten looks very well-groomed and is the real “eye candy” because of this fact. Just outside the city is Sitzgelegenheit, which is a great location for fans of "wild" parks.

The city has preserved several interesting castles and mansions. Among them, it is worth highlighting Vogteihaus. It is framed by a wrought iron fence, which is a kind of work of art. Once the building’s calling card was its baroque staircase but it has been replaced by a modern one. Speaking about the house's history, it is worth noting that it was built at the end of the 19th century, renovated in 2011, and got its present-day look in the same year. Since recently, the building has become a symbol of Gummersbach.
A wonderful piece of architectural art is Vorbeckentalsperre bridge. Its views of the river Agger staggers the imagination, so you should never avoid this construction. Excellent views are also offered by the viewing platform Aussichtsturm Ruine Meerhardtfels. The tower was built on Meerhardt Hill 291 meters above sea level in 1908. From here you can enjoy views of neighboring Dieringhausen and Aggertal. You can get here by steep Schwindsuchtsteppe, which is 64 steps connecting Dieringhauser Straße and Merhardtstraße.

Another great viewing platform is Aussichtsturm Knollen offering views of the Rhine Valley in the west, mountain landscapes in the northeast, and Westerwald in the south. The 446-meter-high observation platform was built in 1975. You can have a great time walking through the Westfriedhof. Despite the fact that it is a cemetery, it's very peaceful here, so walking can be an alternative to a regular walk in a park. It's also worth noting another interesting building, both in terms of architecture and the fact that here you can have a great time enjoying a cultural program. It's about Theater der Stadt Gummersbach.

The castle burned down in 1782, leaving only a round tower in the south-east. Its restoration was carried out at the end of the 20th century, and today the castle can be considered one of the most interesting sights of Gummersbach and the state.
