We have made up a list of some of these really attractive leisure options. We are pretty sure that you will find some of the offers suiting your personal taste.
The Münsterland is truly a biker's paradise. There is no other region equipped with such a vast number of cycle tracks, almost unused farm roads and the even smaller cart tracks "Pättkes". Sidelining the track, even hidden by diverse sorts of brushwood, the cyclist's eye is caught by picturesque castles surrounded by water or beautiful palaces, standing there like the materialised dream now made of stone. Emsdetten is one direct point of call for the "Route of the 100 castles". Moreover, we have prepared some of the most beautiful tracks for you. You find them compiled in our costfree brochure. Bicycles can be borrowed upon request.
