West side of the Aasee

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Münster's most central local recreation area is the Aasee. It is only a 15-minute walk from the Prinzipalmarkt and offers a whole range of interesting leisure activities for young and old - from a walk to a sailing trip to a visit to the zoo.

The Aasee attracts walkers, cyclists and inline skaters with picturesque paths into the countryside. A boat rental, a sailing school and two sailing clubs invite you to explore the lake from the water. And around the lake, cafés, restaurants and hotels provide for the physical well-being of the day-trippers.
