In Bad Driburg in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park, various leisure tourism facilities have created the necessary conditions so that people with disabilities can also enjoy their vacation in the traditional moor and mineral spa. These include the historical town tour. The three-kilometre circular route immerses you in the history of Bad Driburg. The starting point is the tourist information office with free parking, from where you can follow the numbered route into the old town.
Bad Driburg originated as a medieval settlement of castellans, craftsmen and traders with a market at the foot of the Iburg, which gives the town its name. Glass production, which can already be traced back to the High Middle Ages, was continued after the railroad connection through significant industrial production and further developed with the glass trade, which is still very active today. The history of Bad Driburg as a glass town is vividly presented in the Glass Museum. The last two stops on the trail provide information about Bad Driburg's development as a privately run mud and mineral spa and can be wonderfully combined with a visit to the multi-award-winning Gräflicher Park, which presents the impressive variety of garden art with old trees and well-tended lawns, changing flower plantings and themed gardens, historic spa architecture and soothing treatments. Numerous cafés and restaurants along the way invite you to take a break.
