Maps and trails
Ölsen is located at the foot of the Siebengebirge and offers a picturesque view of the surrounding hills and valleys. The area is criss-crossed by forests, rivers and lakes, making it a paradise for outdoor lovers.

Tourist attractions include Hamm Castle, an impressive 14th-century castle complex, and St. Laurentius Church with its beautiful Baroque façade.

Cultural highlights include the annual culture and wine festival in summer and the traditional Christmas market in winter. Here you can enjoy local products and be enthralled by artistic performances.

The culinary specialities of this region are hearty dishes such as potato soup or pork knuckle with sauerkraut. But there are also sweet treats like apple pie or streusel to be discovered here.

For outdoor activities, spring to autumn is particularly suitable for hiking, cycling or canoeing on the nearby river Sieg. In winter, skiing or tobogganing in the surrounding mountains are ideal.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the local museum "Haus der Geschichte" (House of History), which provides insight into regional history.

The most beautiful place in Ölsen is undoubtedly the castle park, where you can enjoy nature and relax. Here you will also find a playground for children.

Overall, Ölsen is a destination worth visiting with its geographical location, cultural highlights and outdoor activities. We hope this Travel Guide will help you in your planning and welcome you to Ölsen soon!
