Gütersloh is alive…

Gütersloh is a city that boasts several green spaces and where leisure features very highly. For example, the city park, the Botanical Gardens, and Mohn's Park give you the space to relax and take long walks along the virtually inexhaustible network of cycle paths and footpaths. 

Güterslohs' swimming baths offer opportunities for sport, games and fun. The 'Welle' [wave] water park, the Nordbad open air pool and the indoor pool are great places for any occasion, all year round. Rest, recuperate and let your mind wander in the Järva sauna.

Golf fans who come to Gütersloh also get their money's worth: The Westphalian Golf Club Gütersloh welcomes visitors at its 18-hole golf course.

(On the condition that they are a member of another golf club.)

Gütersloh and the surrounding area has a wide range of excursions and leisure activities on offer.

There are plenty of walking opportunities and excursions available in the East Westphalia and Teutoburg Forest. For example, you can visit Schloss Rheda, the moated castle at Tatenhausen, the hunting lodge at Holte, Schloss Möhler, the ruins at Ravensburg, the Luisenturm, or the Cistercian monastery in Marienfeld. For younger visitors to the region, the narrow-gauge steam railway in Mühlenstroth and the Hollywood and Safari Park at Stukenbrock offer exciting adventures and unforgettable experiences. The surrounding area also has much to offer for art lovers.
