Lippeaue near Hamm

Highlight • River

The Lippe floodplain was renaturalized for two reasons. Firstly, to adapt to the effects of climate change and thus keep the city of Hamm livable for its citizens. Secondly, to shape the Lippe as an experience space for the population.

Lippramsdorf Bridge over the River Lippe

Highlight • Bridge

The Lippramsdorf Bridge leads to the chemical park, so it's a dead end for you. But the view from up here of the Lippe floodplain is really beautiful - it's worth the little detour.

We started our most recent bike tour, partly along the Römer Lippe route, in Haltern. We were inspired by Wolfgang's tour "Diversity on the river, water and marsh. A little modified here and there and unfortunately not all impressions experienced live, but still very varied and easy to drive. The farm shop/restaurant Arentz is highly recommended, but also our reward …

We went on a nice tour today. I just don't know who.
It often went through beautiful, cool forest areas, which was really pleasant today.
"We didn't like Jupp's adventure beer garden that much.
Too big and overcrowded. Not comfortable for such older people.
Different surfaces, but everything is easy to drive on.

A nice Sunday tour from Flaesheim went along the canal and through the Lippe meadows towards Dorsten. The way back took us over the old Venlo Hamburg railway line back to Haltern. Finally, a short detour through the Westruper Heide and then the end of the tour was almost reached. We quickly took the hand ferry over the Lippe and …
