Accommodation in Burbach
A stay in Burbach can combine local history, cultural events and nature, depending on your interests. If you are looking for a hotel in Burbach, local visitor services can help you plan your time around the things you enjoy: the Old Bailiwick combines historic architecture with information about the nature park, while the gallery, theatre and cycling tour offer different highlights.
The Old Bailiwick and Nature Park Information
The half-timbered building of the Old Bailiwick dates back to 1698. Since 2022, the carefully restored and converted Old Bailiwick and the renovated tithe barn have served as central, multifunctional meeting places for residents and visitors to the municipality of Burbach. The Old Bailiwick is in the town centre. As a nature park information centre, it is the southernmost gateway to the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge Nature Park and provides information, tips and suggestions about the nature park and its “treasure chests” and “jewels”.
The Burbach Tourist Information Office is a central point of contact for day-trippers, holidaymakers and visitors. It provides information about accommodation, hiking routes, cycling tours, nature experiences, themed tours, cultural events and sights, as well as local restaurants in Burbach and its villages. It can help with everything from planning individual activities to answering questions about your stay.
Art, Book Flea Market and Stage Shows
The Römergalerie Burbach hosts changing art exhibitions featuring artists from the region and further afield. The gallery also has a permanent book flea market. For stage arts, the Heimhof Theatre Burbach offers a varied programme of children’s theatre, music, cabaret, the “Filmpalast” featuring older film classics, and improvisational theatre.
The gallery and theatre offer different cultural highlights: one focuses on changing art exhibitions, while the other presents a programme of theatre, music, cabaret, film classics and improvisation. If you are planning a visit to a particular exhibition or performance, check the dates for your travel period.
Nature Experiences and Cycling
Families can borrow the nature-experience backpack by reserving it in advance at the Old Bailiwick in Burbach or at the town hall. It includes items such as binoculars, plant and animal identification guides, and a map of the “natural treasures”. These materials give the nature experience a practical focus on observing and identifying. Arrange your reservation before your visit.
The cycling tour “Across the Villages – Around Burbach” is a 28.40-kilometre regional loop with a moderate difficulty rating and moderate fitness requirements. Panoramic views are another feature of the tour. It starts and finishes at Burbach town hall. Its length and rating offer a clear guide when choosing a tour; as route conditions can change, check them before setting off.
