The city's location in the middle of nature and the associated title of "greenest city in North Rhine-Westphalia" contribute to the quality of life, as do a varied and sophisticated cultural life, a wide range of sports, diverse gastronomy, excellent shopping and recreational opportunities as well as numerous events and leisure activities. Hagen's cultural landscape also offers an exciting mix of tradition and modernity. Particular attractions are the over 100-year-old theater, which still proudly sees itself as a "citizens' theater", and the Hagen Art Quarter, which combines two important art museums under one roof. Hohenlimburg Castle, the only preserved hilltop castle in Westfalen, which sits enthroned like a fairytale castle high up on the Schlossberg in Hagen's Hohenlimburg district, is definitely worth a visit. The Hohenhof, an Art Nouveau masterpiece and true gem, the idyllically situated Wasserschloß Werdringen and the LWL open-air museum for crafts and technology on the southern outskirts of Hagen are also worthwhile excursion destinations.
