Of course, you only have the long-distance view because you have to climb uphill to get here (unusual for the Münsterland).
You continue either to Selm (Auenpark, Ternscher See) or to the great Cappenberger forests.

...that's what people used to say in Münsterland. So today we cycled along the Pättkes around us and made good use of the sunshine. It's amazing that every time I follow my girlfriend on her bike, there are sections of the route that I didn't know. So there's still a lot to discover. It was great again ☀️

A beautiful and relatively easy cycling tour in Münsterland. The route is part of the Nordkirchen Pättkestouren (Nordkirchen Pättkes Tours) and is excellently signposted. Getting lost is impossible. It touches on several highlights of Münsterland, including Nordkirchen Castle, which has unfortunately been covered in scaffolding for a long time, and Cappenberg Castle.
