The X 19 follows the Ems for long sections with its beautiful and partially repeatedly designated protected floodplain. But it has much more to offer: a bishop and peace city, a pilgrimage city, a horse city, a combine harvester city, and a city that supposedly doesn't even exist! The X 19 leads through the greenest corners of Münster to the famous image of grace of the Virgin Mary in Telgte. Along the Ems it goes through Warendorf, famous for its horse breeding, further east to the home of the Claas combine harvesters, Harsewinkel, and finally to the monastery Marienfeld, founded in 1185, before the path climbs the slopes of the Teutoburg Forest and finally reaches Bielefeld. The route ends at the Bielefeld Olderdissen Zoo, where the Hermannsweg also branches off.
