Langern Forest Trails

Highlight • Forest

It almost doesn't matter where you drive in Werne-Langern, it's idyllic everywhere, green and almost hilly for the area 😁.
The most beautiful cycle route from Lünen to Werne also runs through Langern.

Rural Road Near Sause Ente, Münsterland

Highlight • Trail

"beautiful path"? I could call the whole of Münsterland that.
But does every path, every bench, every little bridge really have to be designated as a HL?

South Entrance to Nordkirchen Palace Park

Highlight • Monument

Why always through the main entrance: This way you can also get to the castle and there are also some teaching boards that convey one or the other worth knowing.

View of Netteberge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Of course, you only have the long-distance view because you have to climb uphill to get here (unusual for the Münsterland).
You continue either to Selm (Auenpark, Ternscher See) or to the great Cappenberger forests.

A wonderful bike ride in better weather than predicted!

No rain and even sunshine at times.

This region is perfect for cycling and relaxing.

...that's what people used to say in Münsterland. So today we cycled along the Pättkes around us and made good use of the sunshine. It's amazing that every time I follow my girlfriend on her bike, there are sections of the route that I didn't know. So there's still a lot to discover. It was great again ☀️

April 27, 2025,Nordkirchen Wald- und Wiesentour (Tour 4)

A beautiful and relatively easy cycling tour in Münsterland. The route is part of the Nordkirchen Pättkestouren (Nordkirchen Pättkes Tours) and is excellently signposted. Getting lost is impossible. It touches on several highlights of Münsterland, including Nordkirchen Castle, which has unfortunately been covered in scaffolding for a long time, and Cappenberg Castle.
