What to expect
Obernkirchen is a historic town in Lower Saxony, Germany, known for its famous sandstone and glass manufacturing. The town has a rich history, with the settlement dating back to the 8th century and the monastery being founded in 1167. Visitors can explore the Sculpture Trail, which features works of art created during the international sculpture symposiums, and visit the Museum of Mining and Town History to learn about the town's industrial past. The town also offers a nature trail with dinosaur tracks, a golf course, and a heated outdoor pool, making it a great destination for families. The town's medieval silhouette is preserved through its convent buildings and double-peaked church tower, and visitors can enjoy the town's natural and sculptural heritage

Obernkirchen: On the Sculpture Trail
Activities: We went on a photo safari through the Obernkirchen city center on the Sculpture Trail with our bikes. We were looking for the sculptures, but the kids were not really interested in the photo stops. We started at the Info-Galerie and got the "Skulpturenweg Obernkirchen" flyer. We only went as far as the Kirchplatz
Highlights: The sculptures offer eye-catchers that we locals have long taken for granted. We enjoyed the sculptures on Kirchplatz, the Stiftskirche St. Marien, the Fachwerk-Trafo-Häuschen with Zwiebelturm, the Rote Schule and the Weiße Schule. The flyer is a good basis for a treasure hunt. We will do it again in the summer ✨
