June 1, 2024,Friedensroute Etappe 3: Tecklenburg - Münster

It's hard to believe, but the weather remained stable today and the rain gear could stay in the pannier. After a short climb to Tecklenburg, we then took a long descent down to the Münsterland plain and rolled through Ladbergen and Greven towards Münster. Shortly before the finish, the village shop in Gimbte tempted us with coffee, cake and ice …

August 8, 2023,Etappe 1: Von Münster nach Tecklenburg – Friedensroute

Today I was walking the peace route with a friend. We started at the main station in Münster. For those who don't know Münster, we recommend starting at the town hall and taking a look at the Hall of Peace, where the Peace of Westphalia was signed in 1648. We know Münster and therefore started directly at the train station. …

Up to Tecklenburg is a challenge ...... Strongest slope 16%. The tricycle had to be pushed despite the strong electric assistance.

The second day begins again with a hearty breakfast. The weather forecast predicts persistent rain, so another cup of coffee tastes good, and we have so much to talk about anyway. 😇
But then we're off, initially in the dry. In Ladbergen, we'd especially like to mention the friendly ladies at the tourist information office, presumably volunteers. They sell regional …

All the bikes in the trailer and off we go. We parked in a P+R parking lot just outside of Münster city center. The parking is free. Our first stage was on the "Peace Route" to the small town of Lengerich. Here we stayed at the "Hotel zur alten Mühle". The food🍖 there was good. Unfortunately, there isn't much going …

Today, a great day of cycling began with a relaxing ride out of Münster. We followed the western section of the Peace Route towards Osnabrück. Great cycle paths, stunning scenery, perfect cycling weather. It couldn't be better. We cycled more or less parallel to the Ems until Greven, then through the Emsauen nature reserve just before reaching town. We stopped …

Münster and the Peace of Westphalia

Every visitor should once mount a bike in Germany's cycling capital and cycle across the magnificent Prinzipalmarkt. Because European history was made in Münster: with the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years' War in 1648. That is why Münster's historic town hall – together with its Osnabrück counterpart – bears the "European …
