Iburg Castle and Monastery in Bad Iburg are among the historically significant buildings in the Osnabrück district of Lower Saxony. Iburg Castle was built on a hill in 1070 as a castle with a wooden chapel; the Benedictine monastery within it was founded in 1080.

Beautiful mountain trail with a view of the Holperdorper valley. The trail is more of a hiking trail, but also suitable for MTBs and gravel bikes.
