In Geseke, the many small streets and alleyways, the market square and pedestrian zone as well as Thoholte Park in the heart of the town invite you to stroll and linger. In addition to the half-timbered houses along the historic Hellweg, the beautiful churches in Baroque, Romanesque and late Romanesque styles in the vicinity of the open Geseke stream and the rose pond are just as worth seeing as the fully preserved ramparts and the districts with their churches, the manor in Störmede and Schloss Eringerfeld. Extensive cycling and hiking trails, the Way of St. James, idyllic forests and nature reserves, the Gösselkirmes funfair and a wide range of cultural and sporting activities characterize Geseke and provide occasions for a visit, an extended hike or a relaxed and at the same time eventful bike tour throughout the year. The Mythos Stein theme park is unique. Here you can experience how industry, nature and art combine to form an exciting and harmonious whole. The renaturalized section of the Fortuna quarry is open to visitors at all times. At the same time, you get an insight into an active quarry. So let's go and join the adventure - in Geseke!
