If you are looking for recreation, you are at the right place in Halle! The city stretches out into the Teutoburg Forest with its wonderful hiking trails and cycle tracks. The OWL-Arena, known for attractive sports and music events, is as well just „round the corner“, and the same goes for a public bath, several fitness centers and a golf course.
