Many cycle paths (without car traffic) lead to the monastery: from Coesfeld, from Billerbeck, from Rorup. The monastery café-restaurant is the right place for a break.

June 9, 2024,Baumberger Ludgerusweg 1. Etappe

A short hiking break in Münsterland: Day 1 began in Coesfeld, we walked along the so-called Ludgerusweg to Billerbeck, stayed overnight there and on the second day we walked to Stift Tilbeck, a total of 30 km. Although the Baumberge offer a lot of ups and downs with correspondingly beautiful views, there were no significant elevation changes. It is a …

Ludgerus Trail - Coesfeld to Billerbeck

The entire Ludgerus Trail is approximately 30 km long, from the "Mordkreuz der Mersche von Tilbeck" (near Schapdetten) to Coesfeld. If you can manage it, you're welcome to walk the entire trail; it's sure to be beautiful.

I can't manage 30 km, so I've split the fun into two.

Today, Coesfeld to Billerbeck.

Today I took the environmentally friendly bus and 9 € ticket to Coesfeld and from there I went to the Ludgerusweg. Via the Coesfelder Berg we first went to the Benedictine Abbey of Gerleve and then further over fields and fields with wonderful views of the Münsterland to Billerbeck. The drizzle stopped just in time for the start and it …
