Schwerte

Schwerte, the historic Westphalian Hanseatic city in the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, is increasingly becoming a popular destination for those seeking adventure and relaxation. Weekend travelers and those on short getaways, in particular, will find an attractive array of cultural and sporting activities here. Thanks to its location almost exactly in the middle of the RuhrtalRadweg, Schwerte is also an ideal stopover for cyclists.

Perhaps the most beautiful way to experience Schwerte is by approaching it on two wheels through the green Ruhr floodplains. Even from a distance, the striking tower of St. Victor’s Church, with its westward-leaning spire, greets visitors and invites them to explore the beautiful Altstadt in its shadow—with its romantic Winkeln and crannies and lovingly maintained half-timbered houses—and to look for charming photo opportunities.

A diverse range of dining options awaits visitors throughout the city. Whether you’re looking for international specialties or Westphalian delicacies—there’s something for every taste in a pleasant and stylish atmosphere. Be sure not to miss trying the local traditional dish, the “Schwerte Pannekauken.”

As the most forested city in the Unna district, Schwerte is also an exceptionally attractive hiking destination. Here, the Ruhr River and the heart of the city truly come together, inviting you to take a leisurely stroll among modern shopping and recreational offerings and the historic charm of the old town—a place where you’ll want to linger a little longer.
