March 18, 2026,2026-7, Altstadt von Telgte – Rieselfelder, Gimpte, Greven, Telgte

The bike tour starts in Telgte, on an early sunny spring day. The air is still cool, but the sun already has strength. The paths lead through the typical Münsterland: wide fields, green meadows and quiet farms. Soon the Werse and sometimes the Ems accompany a part of the way. The water is sometimes very close to the cycle path. …

A very nice tour. The art garden is exceptional, but interesting what you can do with old things. Only one bridge was closed so we had to drive through a forest, which was a bit exhausting. Telgte and the art market in Gimpte was great.

That was a beautiful route, you pass many great corners and cycle on beautiful paths. It's worth it. In Telgte the market is about halfway and there are plenty of places to stop for a break.

Numerous train cancellations and delays prevented us from going on a tour in Twente in the Netherlands. It's a good thing that a large pool of tours is available in the planning. The train journey ended in Münster and we got on our bikes. It's all ok!

Our tour started in Greven today and took us mostly through unknown terrain. Lots of quiet country roads, a few Pättkes and sometimes 🚘car traffic along the route. The stopover in Telgte was really worth it. There we snacked on left-turning calories (those are the ones that don't put on weight😉) in the form of 🍧ice cream right next to …
