Our last stop on our Christmas market tour was Bielefeld. When I booked the trip I didn't know there was an online joke that Bielefeld doesn't exist. It wasn't until we were traveling that Raymond told me about it. I looked up the city when we got close to see what there was to do and everything was like there is nothing fun to see or do there so I was like oh, okay...I guess we will have a relaxing day there?
When we got in we wandered down to the Christmas market to spy and it was really nice!
We didn't spy on everything, but we did find quite a few places that had vegan foods that sounded good so we had that to look forward to the next day
The next day we were off to explore the city
Some vegan grunkohl! for lunch! This was good, but not as good as the one we had in Dortmund
And a giant soft pretzel, though we were sad as it wasn't fresh and hot, but still tasty
A small sculpture park
Then we headed up the hill to Sparrenburg Castle/fortress which was pretty small, but had views of the city
This was really fun to wander around, and there were a lot of nice trails too
Then back down to the sculpture park
And through town
Some churros for an afternoon snack - they were so tasty!
For a town that has nothing interesting to see or do, is not on a river, is just unremarkable, I really enjoyed Bielefeld! It was much nicer than a lot of towns we have been to and I really enjoyed my time wandering. I would definitely come back here, especially at Christmas time or in the fall and wander some of the trails. I loved Bielefeld!
