Geographically, Bönen is located between the Ruhr area and the Sauerland. The town is surrounded by numerous lakes that are perfect for outdoor activities. Some of the best-known lakes are the Haferbachsee, the Flierichsee and the Heerener See.

Bönen is best known for its historical sights such as the Oberwerries Castle or the St. Pancratius Church from the 12th century. But modern buildings such as the town hall with its extraordinary architecture are also worth a visit.

Cultural highlights can also be discovered in Bönen: The Alte Mühle cultural centre regularly offers concerts, theatre performances and exhibitions. Those who prefer sports can let off steam on the tennis courts of the TC Grün-Weiß or play a round of golf on the nearby Gut Neuenhof.

For culinary delights, restaurants such as the steakhouse El Toro or the Italian restaurant Da Mario - here gourmets get their money's worth! Regional specialities should also definitely be tried - for example the delicious Westphalian cuisine with its hearty dishes.

Those who like to be out and about will find plenty of opportunities in Bönen's surroundings: In the summer months, you can enjoy swimming, sailing or canoeing on the lakes. In winter, the surrounding ski areas such as the Winterberg ski lift carousel offer ideal conditions for skiing and snowboarding.

No one need be bored in bad weather either: The CabrioLi leisure pool offers bathing fun for young and old. Or you can visit the local history museum in the Old Mill - here you can learn all about the history of Bönen and its region.

Of course, it is especially beautiful in Bönen in spring, when nature awakens and everything begins to blossom. But also in summer, autumn or winter, this town has its very own charm and is definitely worth a visit!

In our Travel Guide we have summarised all the important information about Bönen - from the best restaurant to the most beautiful sights. We hope you will enjoy your stay!

    Eine Bewertung mit 5 Sterne sind m. E. angemessen. Die Tour ist sehr abwechselungsreich und bietet viele unterschiedliche Eindrücke. Wer gegen Mittag in Hamm ist, dem sei das TAJ MAHAL empfohlen. Hier gibt es indisches Essen zu angemessenen Preisen. Wer sich unterwegs nach einer Portion Eis sehnt, der kann in Kamen Werve die Eiscafé Scarzanella aufsuchen. Wer die Tour etwas erweitern möchte, der kann ich die schöne Innenstadt von Werne radeln. Der Ort liegt allerdings etwas abseits der Route.

    Eine nette Tour. Nur sollte man sie nicht an einem Freitagnachmittag machen, wenn der Berufsverkehr Ausweichrouten sucht. Dann werden ansonsten wenig befahrene Strecken,zu nicht besonders schönen Streckenabschnitten.

    Lohnenswerte Tour, die allerdings auch Längen an den Kanalstrecken hat. Ich fand den südlich der A2 liegenden Teil am schönsten.

    Eine tolle Runde. Man fährt abwechslungsreich durch kleine Dörfer und dann wieder an Äcker und Gehöften vorbei. Für mich eine eher unterschätzte Radfahrgegend. Aber dafür auch nicht überlaufen. An der ein oder anderen Stelle könnte man eher dem ausgeschilderten Radweg folgen, anstatt der Route. Besonders aufgefallen ist mir das zwischen Hemmerde und Flierich und wenn man in Werl reinfährt. Werl als Zwischenstation lohnt sich auch. Mit dem Kloster eine total gemütliche Fußgängerzone.

    Schöne Rundtour mit viel Natur! Kleine Routenänderung in Niedervöhde nötig, da Neubaumaßnahmen eines Zentrallagers von ??? den Weg versperren. Ist aber nicht weiter schlimm. Vorher einfach die Weetfelderstr. ein Stück weiter geradeaus, dann rechts in die Wilhelm-Lange-Str und nach ein paar Minuten ist man wieder auf Kurs.
