It's fun to bike there. There are many different paths you can take here. Partly gravel and partly loose ground

Beautiful trail that winds through the forest. Depending on the direction you are traveling, you will end up at Haaksbergener Venn or the Lüntener Fischteiche. Should be included in your tour planning if possible 👍

A beautiful castle right in the heart of Ahaus. You can take a lovely stroll around it and, with a bit of luck, see black swans.

Cycling through the Velen Animal Park to the Schoß is something special. Passing the pheasantry, if it's open, be sure to stop and take a look inside!
