September 5, 2021,Schloss Darfeld – Radbahn Münsterland Runde von Borghorst
A nice tour over two cycle tracks and the Vechtetal route. Many places to stop for a break in Schöppingen, Eggerode and Darfeld. During our tour there were a lot of cyclists on some sections.

Tip: If you want to follow the tour, you should not do this on the weekend in good weather.

Beautiful railway tracks and beautiful little towns

Whether paths with paved gravel or solid sand paths and single trails but always in the middle of beautiful landscapes and forests... Simply amazing, I've never raved so much, maybe it was just …

Beautiful farms along the route, as well as plenty of places to stop for refreshments.

The route initially follows the idyllic “Paoters Pättken” with quiet paths through fields and forests to Burgsteinfurt.
Then it goes over the well-developed Münsterland cycle track, a former railway line, along the old restored gatekeeper's houses and the former old railway equipment …
