The Steinfurter Land is said to be the most beautiful cycling region in the Münsterland in West Germany. The six varied Tours in this Collection are themed and reveal the area’s diverse beauty. You dive deep into the region’s pristine nature, cycle through beautiful parks, past historic places and ride by picturesque farms and ancient windmills. Some rides take you through mysterious moors whilst others explore rare heathlands. On hot days, you can cool off in a stream en route too.
The Steinfurter Land has lots to discover besides cycling. Look out for the region’s diverse wildlife and plant species such as lark, snipe and blackthorn. There’s a wide range of cultural activities, lively events and shopping opportunities too, as well as cosy accommodation, delicious culinary offerings and friendly hosts.
In this beautiful region, you can work hard on your bike during the day and pamper yourself in the evening – a day well spent.
