Vlotho

Vlotho straddles the Weser in North Rhine-Westphalia’s Weser Uplands, a riverside position that has long linked the town with routes through the surrounding hills and lowlands. The ruins of Vlotho Castle stand above the historic centre, recalling the strategic importance of this stretch of river. Timber-framed buildings and older streets lend the centre a distinctly Westphalian character, while the Weser remains Vlotho’s defining geographic feature. The town also lies on the Weser Cycle Route, which follows the river through central and northern Germany. Explore nearby locations to see how Vlotho relates to the wider Weser valley.
