Discover Voshövel

In Voshövel, you’ll encounter two distinct impressions: the freely accessible memorial on Heidhügel and the green valley setting of Landhotel Voshövel, with its many streams. The country hotel is also a dining stop on a circular route for walkers and cyclists. This means possible travel interests range from cultural history to stopping for a meal along the way.

A freely accessible memorial on Heidhügel

The Voshövel memorial stands on Heidhügel and is freely accessible. Its bronze plaque commemorates the victims of war and violence; a QR code serves as an audio station with additional information. The memorial is also connected to a route linking various memorials in the municipality. You can view the site of remembrance on its own or as part of this municipality-wide route.

The memorial was placed under heritage protection in 1994. According to the heritage authority, it contributes to documenting the different architectural styles of memorials across the Lower Rhine. Its architectural significance therefore extends beyond this individual site of remembrance: alongside commemorating the victims, it also highlights the variety of forms used to design memorials in the Lower Rhine region.

A green valley setting, circular route and regional cuisine

The Landhotel Voshövel complex is nestled in a small valley with many streams, surrounded by greenery. At the same time, the country hotel is a dining stop on a circular route used by walkers and cyclists. If you’re travelling on foot or by bike, you can therefore include the hotel as a place to stop and eat in your plans; the valley setting describes the green surroundings of the complex.

In the evening, the hotel’s restaurant serves hearty regional dishes. The specific selection of dishes may change; if you’re planning to stop for a particular dish, check the current menu. There is also an e-bike charging station at the hotel. Check the charging arrangements with reception before using it.

Golf at Golfclub Weselerwald

Golf enthusiasts have several clearly distinct options at Golfclub Weselerwald. Its public 9-hole course is 2,158 metres long and has nine par-3 holes; you can play there without club membership. The club’s practice facilities are free to use. Check that they are open before you travel. The Redflaggolf Academy at Golfclub Weselerwald offers golf lessons with TrackMan swing analysis; you should confirm that lessons are available before your trip. This lets you plan a round on the public course, independent practice and lessons as separate activities.

Choose accommodation based on your travel interests

When looking for accommodation in Voshövel, it helps to decide what kind of day you’re looking for. Are you most interested in the site of remembrance, with its bronze plaque, audio station and route; a walking or cycling loop with a stop for a meal; or golf? These travel interests are quite distinct: cultural history and architecture, activity on the circular route, or playing, practising and taking lessons at the golf club.
