May 6, 2026, Historic Village Center of Kaufungen

The historic center of Kaufungen is characterized by well-preserved half-timbered houses and narrow alleys that reflect the medieval townscape. The old town center with small squares and historic buildings provides a vivid impression of the long settlement history.

The floodplains along the Nieste consist of meadows, wetlands, and streams, embedded in the wooded surroundings of the Kaufunger Forest. They are a valuable habitat for numerous animal and plant species.
