The historical Kaster and the rural Rhein-Erft district offer a variety of leisure facilities with a varying emphasis. Whether it is the arts, culture or sport – we can offer it all. The Ricarda-Markt, a medieval art and crafts fair in the summer, the Nikolausmarkt Christmas market in December, in the course of which you can sample or buy home-made specialties in mediaeval dwelling houses, the famous Kaster Advent calendar, the Bedburger Musikmeile musical festival and many other folklore events can all be experienced at first hand. The erstwhile lignite mining area is a stone's throw from us. It as restored and today serves as a rural leisure area with young forests and the Kaster lake. An ideal situation for jogging and walking. Guided tours through the old city centre of Kaster can be pre-arranged all year round. There are also several opportunities during the year to experience an interesting guided tour of local opencast mining facilities.
