If you would like to rent a holiday apartment in Padberg, the decision begins with the place itself: Padberg is a district of the town of Marsberg; this municipal affiliation has existed since 1975. The small village lies on a mountain spur between the Diemel and Hoppecke valleys, near the state border with Hesse. This makes Padberg a suitable base for a trip combining landscapes, local history, and individual excursions in the surrounding area.

An excursion in the Diemel valley

An interactive biomimicry trail connecting nature and technology topics is located in the Diemel valley between Padberg and Giershagen.
