BIELEFELD bus to ELK
BIELEFELD
Bielefeld is a city of more than 300,000 people located in the northeastern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is an important center of science, culture and industry.
The center of the city is the market square, surrounded by beautiful townhouses, and the biggest attraction is Sparrenburg Castle, located on the slopes of the Teutoburg Forest, which dates back to the Middle Ages and features a distinctive high tower. Visitors have access to underground passageways with a total length of 285 meters. Bielefeld has a botanical garden famous for its azaleas and rhododendrons and Westphalia's oldest open-air museum. The city's contemporary art gallery, housed in a modernist building from the 1960s, is worth a visit. While in Bielefeld, you can also go to the Dr. Oetker museum telling the story of this well-known brand - one of Germany's most popular food companies, still headquartered in Bielefeld today.
Getting to Bielefeld
Bielefeld is crossed by an expressway that lies on the B61 national road, and the A2 highway connecting the Ruhr area and Berlin passes by. The city is an important railroad junction on the Hanover-Dortmund line. Our buses stop near the Brackwede train station located in the southwestern part of Bielefeld. The city center is about 15 minutes away by public transportation.
In Bielefeld it is possible to get around by light rail, i.e., streetcars running underground, which travel to the surface in the districts farther from the center. This transportation is supplemented by buses and city bicycles.

ELK
In Elk you will find two city beaches, both of which are sandy, although in truth in high season it will probably be difficult to find even a meter of free space anyway. There is also a sizable park, several children's playgrounds and a bunch of playrooms. Elk also has an interesting museum, offering, among other things, a ride on a narrow-gauge train.
How to get to and from Elk - buses and timetables
To get from or to Elk, for example, you can use a bus. Buses Sindbad leave from Elk's PKS station, which is located right next to the railroad station. Therefore, if you happen to be going to Elk by train, but then want to change to another means of transport, the change itself will not take you more than a few minutes.
In our opinion, however, it is worth getting to Elk by bus, as trains in high season can be overloaded with people heading to the Baltic cities.
The PKS station in Elk, despite the fact that Google shows that it no longer exists, still serves our buses. It may not currently be as impressive as Elk's train station, but nevertheless our buses go to and from Elk from station one.
