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.

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.
