Werse Cycle Path at Berl Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

The Werseradweg is really an excellent route. Very rural with many informative signs along the way and opportunities to relax. Very nice route and well marked. A procedure is practically impossible.

The Auwald looks very idyllic, almost like another world. On the way to the Pleister Mühle coming from Albersloh, you drive straight through.

A great tour through beautiful scenery. At the end of the tour, we were still craving cake and a cappuccino. Quickly, Dr. Google suggested nearby flower risse. The garden center serves delicious cake and cappuccino 👍

September 22, 2023,Loop from Hiltruper See via Münster along the river Werse

Today, we had one of the most beautiful tours in the region. The first part along the Dortmud-Ems canal on a bicycle highway, with a passage at the ''Münster'' lock which is impressive. Return was done on the banks of the Werse river. Fantastic passage on a gravel path, (this is what we prefer the most.) Winding and very pleasant …

May 20, 2024,Von Amelsbüren über Angelmodde und Handorf nach Amelsbüren

Today we did a lovely tour in Münsterland. We started in Amelsbüren in the direction of Albersdorf. We followed the Werse for a long stretch in the direction of Handorf, and a little refreshment in the Pleistermühle was also on the agenda. We then continued along the canal on excellent paths to the starting point.
