Nature and recreation, industry, sports and health care, history and cultural events: Warstein is a city that harmonizes what appear to be opposites. Warstein's caring approach to history is evident in the meticulous preservation of the historical city center and the detailed presentations found in small museums.
 
One remarkable attraction is the Bilstein valley with its large nature park and one of the most important stalactite/stalagmite cave exhibits in Germany. Other special features are the city of Warstein's all-weather sauna and all-weather swimming pool featuring waterfalls and massage fountains, an athletic pool with four lanes as well as a diving board and a 3 meter diving tower, quiet relaxation spaces and a 32 square meter play pool for the younger swimmers.
