Tips from the Community

Away from parking options, a very quiet part of the landscape. You might encounter a dog walker or an angler here. The path is often covered with turf and at most gravel. So not exactly comfortable, but still doable, just not a race track.

The path is natural and a bit narrower in places, but still easily passable with two wheels side by side.

Many people are likely to envy us for the canal promenade. It will be expanded in the coming years, and I personally expect that a speed limit will be imposed there. Anyone wanting to travel from Münster North to Senden will find a dream route here.

I can only agree. Photos of this section of the route are piling up these days. Unfortunately, they're only available from Amelsbüren to Münster.

Not all cycle paths along the canal are asphalted; this photo clearly shows the condition of some of the road surfaces.
