The Rietberg Garden Show Park offers several excursion destinations in one, covering an area of 40 hectares between the Rietberger Emsniederung nature reserve and the Neuenkirchen district. Garden connoisseurs will find lush flower beds and classic themed gardens in the barrier-free garden show park. Romantics will appreciate the secluded picnic areas, the extensive lake landscapes with sandy beaches and rustic beach chairs. Large and water playgrounds for the little ones, the mighty, towering slide tower with jungle bridge, thousands of large Lego-style building blocks, the "schnurstracks" climbing park and much more will make children's eyes light up. If you still haven't had enough after a day, you will find a magical and adventurous place to spend the night in our cozy camping pods and witches' huts. The camping pods and witches' huts offer a rustic overnight stay directly in the garden show park.
