The whole area of the Weserbergland is worthwhile exploring, and if you have a car, it is extremely easy as the interesting destinations are concentrated in a relatively compact area. My personal highlights are the Old Town ensembles of Hameln, Rinteln and Lemgo, the Bückeburg Castle and Porta Westfalica (Kaiser-Wilhelm monument and viewing point).

this is a special tip for VTer Madschick (Heinz), who is a passionate collector of old keys. There is a nice little exhibition of keys in the Pied Piper Museum of Hameln.
