Hike through the beautiful Münsterland from its western borders to the east. Wild horses, picturesque town centers, and many sights await you. The route begins in Bocholt, located near the Dutch border, along the Aa river to the Aasee. It passes through the district town of Borken with its Gothic and Baroque sights, then through small villages and wooded sections to the Merfelder Bruch, the home of the Dülmen wild horses. Along the Dortmund-Ems Canal, the path leads to the tradition-conscious town of Sendenhorst. Shortly before the destination, the half-timbered town of Wiedenbrück, you will find the former Clarholz monastery, founded in the 12th century, with a reconstructed cloister garden based on historical models.

This path leads straight through the southern Münsterland, starting in the picturesque Haltern am See. It is known for its unique lake landscape and the discoveries of former Roman camps. With the castles Lüdinghausen and Vischering, Nordkirchen Palace known as the “Westphalian Versailles,” and the moated castle Westerwinkel, along with many other manor houses, Münsterland shows itself at its most beautiful. A look inside the Romanesque St. James Church in the winding town of Ennigerloh is worthwhile. The East Westphalian castle Rheda is another highlight before reaching Gütersloh-Isselhorst.

The main hiking trail X 23 leads hikers across the Münsterland from the Teutoburg Forest to the Lippe. Many cultural and scenic highlights await along this route. In Sassenberg, the trail crosses the Hessel and east of Warendorf the Ems. In Ostenfelde, a visit to Haus Vornholz is worthwhile, which was once the seat of the Ritter von Ostenfelde. Hidden in the forest amid a biotope lies the ruin of Nienburg, protected by moats, a predecessor of Haus Vornholz from the 14th–17th centuries. In Beckum, a well-preserved megalithic tomb offers insight into the Neolithic period. Passing an old fortified settlement, the Castle Havixbrock, and the moated castle Haus Assen, the trail finally reaches Lippborg.

Discover the eastern Münsterland on the X 22, featuring the beautiful and gentle Beckumer Hills at their best. Münster's green belt, the promenade running along the former city wall, forms the starting point of the main hiking trail X 22. From here, the route passes through the well-maintained Mauritz district to the bank of the Dortmund-Ems Canal, which almost makes you forget that you were just in the heart of the inner city. Towards Telgte, you will encounter the estate Haus Möllenbeck. Via Freckenhorst with its Romanesque collegiate church, Westkirchen, and Ostenfelde with Vornholz Castle, the X 22 leads to Oelde, where the 2001 State Garden Show took place in the Four Seasons Park. In the neighboring town of Stromberg, the castle and pilgrimage church are further highlights. Passing through Wadersloh and Liesborn with its historic abbey, the X 22 finally reaches idyllic Lippstadt, situated on the Lippe River.

    Die Tour war richtig schön und sehr abwechslungsreich! Ein Weg, von ca. 1km ging etwas durch Gestrüpp und leicht unwegsamen Untergrund (was mir trotzdem sehr Spaß gemacht hat). Aber aus dem Grund und weil die Strecke sehr lang ist, würde ich dem Weg ehr die Schwierigkeit Mittel geben. Ansonsten sehr sehenswert. Viele schöne und abgelegene Wege.

    Eine tolle Landschaft und kaum zu glauben, dass man im Münsterland ist. Sehr gut ausgeschildert und abwechslungsreiche Einblicke und Ausblicke. Leider reichlich Schotter oder Asphalt unter den Sohlen. Das hat uns nicht ganz so gut gefallen, darum nur 4 von 5 Punkte. Zur Blüte im April oder zur Ernte im August/September bestimmt noch empfehlenswerter.

    Für die Gegend hier eine wirklich tolle Runde. Zum Teil schmale Trails. Sehr einsam, da die Gegend offenbar den meisten Menschen unbekannt ist. Danke für den Track.

    Eine durchaus reizvolle Wanderung, die in Sünninghausen beginnt und den Diestedder Berg umrundet. Die Route führt vorbei an einem kleinen See und zwei schönen Höfen, bevor es weiter durch das malerische Naturschutzgebiet Liese-und-Boxelbachtal führt. Von den Südhängen des Diestedder Berges hat man einen hervorragenden Blick auf den Ort Diestedde. Das Cafe Reinkenhof in Sünninghausen ist nachmittags eine super Location für Kaffee und Kuchen (während der Corona-Pandemie auch "to go" erhältlich). Gäste können am Cafe Reinkenhof parken, ein weiterer Parkplatz befindet sich in der Nähe der Kirche in Sünninghausen. Der nahe gelegene Mackenberg - der kleine Everest des Kreises Warendorf mit 174 m - ist an verschiedenen Stellen der Wanderung zu sehen.

    Diese Tour haben wir zweimal gemacht. Das erste Mal im Januar 2018 und dann zur Pflaumenzeit in September 2019. Eine wirklich sehr schöne Tour die zeigt, dass man in Münsterland auch wandern kann. Am besten bei der Alten Vikarie parken und von da aus loslaufen.

    Wieder eine sehr gut ausgearbeitete Runde von Martin S.. Schon die zweite seiner Tour, bei denen wir nicht enttäuscht wurden. Bei dieser Runde ist alles dabei, von Asphalt bis zu kleinen Trails. Von stätisch bis Natur pur. Highlights sind natürlich die Oelder "Wasserfälle" und das Haus Geist. Zu anderen Zeiten gibt es auch gute Einkehrmöglichkeiten auf der Strecke. Diese Runde könnte auch sehr gut als lokaler Wanderweg ausgeschildert werden.

    Sehr schöner Weg, der sich teilweise mit dem „Pflaumenwanderweg“ deckt. Wir sind ihn gezielt am Karfreitag bei warmem und wolkenlosem Frühlingswetter als Pilgerweg gegangen. Es war schön zu sehen, dass trotz Corona-Krise hunderte (!) Leute, darunter auch zahlreiche junge Familien, unter den Auflagen des Abstand-Haltens den Kreuzweg mitgebetet haben. Die sanfte Hügellandschaft der Beckumer Berge ist gerade im Frühling eine traumhafte Kulisse und bietet viele eindrucksvolle Fernblicke Richtung Teutoburger Wald und Sauerland. Hinzu kommen die vielen blühenden Pflaumen- und Obstbäume. Die Lage des Örtchens Stromberg auf dem Gipfel des Höhenzuges ist einfach wunderbar! Die monumentalen Kreuzweg-Stationen sind sehr eindrucksvoll und geben Zeugnis von einer auch heute noch erkennbaren Volksfrömmigkeit in dieser Gegend.

    Bei eurer Wanderung zum Kloster in Clarholz könnt Ihr auch in die Galerie der Gruppe 13 im Haus Samson reinschauen. Die Galerie der 10 Künstler bietet wechselnde Ausstellungen von namhaften Künstlern. Aktuell finden sich interessante Arbeiten von 3 Künstlern aus Münster zum Thema Kinetic Flowers. Die Galerie ist mittwochs, samstags und sonntags von 15-18 Uhr geöffnet. Danach gibt es noch ein Eis im benachbarten Eiscafé im Schatten der Bäume des Klosters. Mein Tipp: Auch mit dem Fahrrad gut erreichbar.

    einfache, kleine Runde durch die Münsterländer Agrarlandschaft. Schöner Wechsel zwischen Wald und Feld mit Ausblicken übers Land. Verläuft überwiegend auf festen Radwegen oder landwirtschaftlichen Versorgungsstrassen.
