Discover the region

Geographical location:

Telgte is located on the southern edge of the Münsterland region and is surrounded by numerous lakes. The town has a rich history as a place of pilgrimage and pilgrimage centre. Warendorf, on the other hand, is located to the east of Telgte near the river Ems.

Tourist attractions:

In Telgte you should definitely visit the historic centre, which delights with its narrow streets and magnificent half-timbered houses. Another highlight is the St. Mary's Basilica - one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in northern Germany. In Warendorf you can explore the castle gardens or the West Prussian State Museum.

Cultural Highlights & Events:

The annual Heimatfest in Telgte attracts visitors from all over the country - there are traditional music and dance performances as well as culinary specialities to discover. In summer, there are also regular outdoor concerts.

Culinary specialities:

Be sure to try the regional dishes such as pumpernickel bread with mettwurst or potato pancakes with apple compote! Beer lovers will also get their money's worth here: the regional beer "Pinkus Müller" has been brewed since 1816!

Outdoor activities:

In summer you can go on a bike tour through the picturesque landscape or take a refreshing dip in one of the many lakes. In winter, the ski resorts in the Sauerland region beckon.

Conclusion:

Telgte and Warendorf are definitely worth a trip! Here you will find everything your heart desires: history, culture and nature. Whether alone or with the family - there is something for everyone here. It is especially beautiful here in spring when the flowers are in bloom and the sun is shining!

    Eine wirklich sehr schöne Tour. Da die Brücke über die Ems kurz vor Gelmer noch nicht wieder fertiggestellt ist, mussten wir einen sehr schönen Waldweg zwischen Emsaue und Standortübungsplatz benutzen. Aber auch dieser Umweg hat sich gelohnt. Insgesamt sind wir aufgrund des Umweges 66 km gefahren. Die Tour kann ich nur empfehlen :)

    Wirklich eine sehr schön zusammengestellte Tour , leider war auch eine Brücke gesperrt und somit mußte etwas umgeplant werden . Wunderschön die Strecke an der Werse entlang und sehr wenig Hauptstraßen . Fazit: sehr empfehlenswert !!!!!

    Achtung! Ein Teil des Weges ist dauerhaft nicht mehr zugänglich. Die Tour kann man aber auch so gut laufen.

    Eine schöne Strecke. Man sollte sich Zeit für die beiden sehenswerten Städte Warendorf und Telgte nehmen. Warendorf hat außerdem viele nette Lokale und Telgte mindestens 2 wirklich gute Cafés.

    Ein wunderschöner und anfängerfreundlicher Weg. Wir sind mit dem Zelt gefahren und haben problemfrei, auch ohne Vorbuchungen, Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten gefunden. In Rheda-Wiedenbrück und Papenburg ist die Beschilderung leider nicht so übersichtlich, da empfehle ich ganz klar eine Karte. Sonst ist der Radweg sehr gut ausgeschildert, die Wege angenehm zu fahren und die Aussicht wunderschön.

    Auf jeden Fall eine tolle Tour. Leider sind ein paar Brücken gesperrt (Juli 2022), ergo sind ein paar Aufweicher nötig. Auf jeden Fall die Rieselfelder mitnehmen.

    Einfache, flache Tour mit den Höhepunkten: Naturschutzgebiet Klattenheide und Emsaue, sowie der Wasserburg Haus Langen. Ein bisschen von allem dabei - Pfädchen, Waldwege und Asphalt. Telgte hat einen sehr schönen Ortskern und wo man nach der Runde gut verweilen kann. Gute Bahnverbindungen Richtung Münster und Bielefeld.
