Bielefeld is a city of more than 300,000 people located in the northeastern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is an important center of science, culture and industry.
The center of the city is the market square, surrounded by beautiful townhouses, and the biggest attraction is Sparrenburg Castle, located on the slopes of the Teutoburg Forest, which dates back to the Middle Ages and features a distinctive high tower. Visitors have access to underground passageways with a total length of 285 meters. Bielefeld has a botanical garden famous for its azaleas and rhododendrons and Westphalia's oldest open-air museum. The city's contemporary art gallery, housed in a modernist building from the 1960s, is worth a visit. While in Bielefeld, you can also go to the Dr. Oetker museum telling the story of this well-known brand - one of Germany's most popular food companies, still headquartered in Bielefeld today.
.There is an expressway running through Bielefeld that lies on the B61 national road, and the A2 highway connecting the Ruhr area and Berlin passes by. The city is an important railroad junction on the Hanover-Dortmund line. Our buses stop near the Brackwede train station located in the southwestern part of Bielefeld. The city center is about 15 minutes away by public transportation.
In Bielefeld, you can get around by light rail, or underground streetcars, which travel to the surface in the districts farther from the center. This transportation is supplemented by buses and city bicycles.
.In Elk you will find two city beaches, both of them sandy, although in truth it will probably be difficult to find even a meter of free space in high season anyway. There is also a sizable park, several children's playgrounds and a bunch of playrooms. Elk also has an interesting museum, offering, among other things, a ride on a narrow-gauge train.
To get from or to Elk, you can use, for example, a bus. Sinbad coaches leave from Elk's PKS station, which is located right next to the railroad station. Therefore, if you happen to be going to Elk by train, but then want to change to another means of transport, the change itself will not take more than a few minutes.
In our opinion, however, it is worth reaching Elk by bus, because trains in high season can be overloaded with people heading to the Baltic cities.
The bus station in Elk, despite the fact that Google shows that it does not exist, still serves our buses. It may not be as impressive now as the Elk railroad station, but nevertheless our buses go to and from Elk from station one.
