Discover the region

Geographically, both towns are located in the Münsterland, a region of rolling hills and green meadows. The landscape is characterised by historic castles and palaces as well as numerous cycling and hiking paths.

In Dülmen you should definitely visit the wild horse enclosure, which is home to over 300 wild horses. The castle park or the natural outdoor swimming pool are also worth a visit. Those interested in history will be thrilled by the Old Town Hall Museum.

Coesfeld, on the other hand, attracts visitors with the moated castle Haus Beck and the copper museum. For relaxation, take a walk through the spa gardens or visit the Coe-Bad leisure pool.

Cultural highlights also abound: Dülmen hosts the annual Jazz Festival, while Coesfeld regularly hosts concerts at Lüdinghausen Castle.

For gourmets, the region offers typical Westphalian cuisine such as kale with pinkel or pumpernickel bread. Another speciality is the famous "Pöttkes", potatoes from the region's own cultivation served with a variety of side dishes.

For those who like to be active, hiking or cycling is a wonderful way to relax - especially recommended during the blossoming season in spring or during the golden autumn. Canoeing on the Stever is also a popular leisure activity.

Whether in sunshine or rain, Dülmen and Coesfeld are worth a visit at any time of year!

    eine schöne Runde. An den Asphaltstrecken kann man meist auf dem unbefestigten Randstreifen laufen. Am Oedlerteich gibt es einen Picknicktisch, vom dem aus man den Wasservögeln zuschauen kann. Da wir nachmittags noch eine Verabredung hatten haben wir auf dieser Runde ziemlich getrödelt, sozusagen eine Bank-Testrunde 😁😁(und es gab ausnahmsweise mal SEHR viel Bänke ...).

    Sehr schöne Tour 🙂. Von Senden nach Hiddingsel am Besten dem Radweg fahren. Die anderen Wege sind eher nicht mehr nötig, sinnig.

    In Corona-Zeiten hat uns diese Rundtour einen wohltuenden Tag beschert. Schade natürlich, dass wir die gastronomischen Möglichkeiten entlang der Strecke ( z.B. in Karthaus / in Nottuln oder am Kloster Gerleve ) nicht nutzen konnten; so haben wir selbst unser Picknick gestaltet - geht auch ! Am Ende haben wir den Tag und die abwechslungsreiche Natur sowie die gute Streckenführung genossen.
