Geographically, Samern is located in a rural area with many forests and fields. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills and rivers such as the Vechte or the Dinkel. This environment invites outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or canoeing.

Tourist attractions include Bentheim Castle from the 11th century and the historic old town of Nordhorn with its beautiful half-timbered houses. The Frenswegen Monastery from the 14th century is also worth a visit.

For those interested in culture, there are various events every year, such as the "Art Weekend" or the "Nordhorn City Festival". Here you can look forward to concerts, theatre performances and exhibitions.

Culinary the region also has a lot to offer: Be sure to try the famous Bentheimer ham or enjoy local specialities such as kale or asparagus straight from the farm.

If it ever rains, we recommend a visit to the tropical house in the Nordhorn Zoo - here you can marvel at exotic plant and animal species. Or visit one of the museums in the area, such as the Grafschafter Museum in Nordhorn or the Textile Museum in Neuenhaus.

The most beautiful time in Samern and the surrounding area is in the summer, when the landscape shines green and you can cool off at the rivers and lakes. But the region also has its charm in autumn - then you can admire the colourful foliage on a hike through the woods.

In total, Samern offers something for everyone: nature lovers get their money's worth here just as much as those interested in culture or epicures. A visit is definitely worthwhile!

    Ein Grossteil der Strecke ist landschaftlich durchaus attraktiv. Unter den Füssen hat man überwiegend verdichtete Sandwege, aber auch ein Stück Teerstrasse. Im Bereich des Steinbruchs gibts Naturpfade. Das Stück zwischen Bad Bentheim und Schüttorf wird tatsächlich sehr intensiv von Radfahrern genutzt, was den Wanderspass manchmal etwas dämpft.

    Es dauert schon eine ganze Weile bis man sich von dem Schock beim Parken am vorgeschlagenen Startpunkt in Rheine erholt hat. Die Höhe der Parkgebühren sind einfach eine Unverschämtheit. Mein dringender Rat: Startet und parkt außerhalb von Rheine. Die Strecke ist ansonsten wunderbar. Besonders der nördliche Teil der Route entlang der Ems, das Kloster und die Strecke durch den Wald sind sehr abwechslungsreich. Der südliche Teil ist nicht ganz so schön. Wer gegen Mittag eine Möglichkeit zur Einkehr sucht, dem sei das China-Restaurant im Zentrum von Schüttorf empfohlen. Hier bekommt man für einen Betrag, für den man in Rheine gerade einmal 5 Stunden parken kann, ein leckeres Mittagessen mit Vor-, Haupt- und Nachspeise. Einfach die Tour um einige Kilometer nach Westen verlängern.

    Opzich prima rondwandeling. Alleen tussen kurpark en Schuttorf teveel fietsers/mountainbikers op het pad, waardoor het onrustig lopen is. Terugweg via de klippen is veel rustiger.

    „Heimatlust Rheine“ ist ein neues Projekt aus Rheine. Gestartet wurde mit 5 Fahrradtouren und 2 Wanderwegen. Heute sind wir die erste Tour abgefahren (R2 Abenteuer-Tour). Und ich muss sagen, dass der Weg perfekt geplant ist. Sehr abwechslungsreich, viele Einkehrmöglichkeiten, schöne Rastplätze, viel Natur aber auch die schönste Seite der Stadt Rheine (historischer Markplatz, Ems, Kloster Bentlage). Der kleine Ort Ohne, wie auch der Haddorfer See sind auch empfehlenswert. Kompliment! Uns hat die Tour sehr gut gefallen :-)
