Nestled between the Wiehen Hills and the Teutoburg Forest in north-west Germany, Osnabrück Land is a paradise for cycling. The region has 1,740 miles (2,800 km) of signposted cycle paths that lead through colourful fields, meadows, and forests, along riverbanks and over the Teutoburg Forest hills. As you ride, you can enjoy fantastic views over the landscape and discover the region’s history at old mills, majestic castles, and rustic farms. Hop on your bike and get exploring – there is a lot to discover in Osnabrück Land.
In this Collection, we show you the 11 circular routes through this cycling region, which take you to the most beautiful places around the city of Münster, Emsland district, the Teutoburg Forest, and Oldenburg Münsterland district. Each loop is between 15 and 93 miles (25 and 150 kilometers) long. You can ride most of the circulars in a day or divide the longer routes into several stages if you want to take it easy. We’ve included something for everyone: from ambitious touring cyclists to relaxed riders.
Each circular route has a different theme and meets the highest quality standards. On the Ackerschnacker Tour, for example, you can learn about the historic Artland region at seven audio stations en route. Other routes take you to interesting museums, historic mills, stately castles, majestic palaces, and health resorts where you can enjoy the fresh air. Although all the routes are different, they all have one thing in common – great restaurants, cafés, and hotels.
