    Eine sehr schöne Strecke, zum Teil durch Wald, zum Teil am Wald entlang mit weiter Aussicht. Die Beschreibung des Autors ist bereits sehr umfangreich, ich habe nur wenige Hinweise/Ergänzungen: • Anreise: Der Parkplatz ist kostenlos. • Wegzeichen: Der Weg ist perfekt ausgeschildert, so dass man nicht unbedingt eine zusätzliche Karte braucht. • Café: Ich empfehle sich vorher die Öffnungszeiten anzuschauen, falls man nach der Tour ins Café möchte.

    Definitiv eine attraktive Runde durch die Baumberge Landschaft. Überwiegend auf Natur- und Schotterwegen. nur wenig Asphalt. Weite Blicke in die Gegend, Wald und Feld möglich.

    Die Tour ist sehr schön und hat uns bei perfektem Wetter sehr viel Spaß gemacht. In Münster selbst war es sehr voll, aber sobald wir vom Aasee weg waren war deutlich weniger los. Ich habe keine Handyhalterung am Fahrrad, also habe ich mit 'Knopf im Ohr' nur über Audiosignale navigiert. Die Tour hat einige Stellen, an denen man abbiegt, und nach 20 m gleich wieder umkehrt. Weil ich den Streckenverlauf nicht sehen konnte, war das ein bisschen nervig immer wieder abzubiegen und gleich umzudrehen. In der Stadt mussten wir dann auch ein paar Mal absteigen und nachschauen, weil es dann so verwirrend war. Deswegen der Punkt Abzug. Insgesamt hatten wir aber eine tolle Tour.

    Diese Tour sind wir heute gewandert. Das ist wirklich eine Top-Strecke. Hervorragende Wege abseits des Straßenverkehrs, großartige Aussichten, so abwechslungsreich profiliert, wie es das flache Münsterland zulässt, kurzum: wir hatten (trotz des Windes) richtig viel Spaß!
