Münsterland - Living in the countryside
Münsterland owes its charm to its many (small) towns and idyllic places. Over 60 smaller towns and communities offer you plenty of space and opportunities to feel at home: Historic town centres, residential areas in the countryside, charming old buildings, cosy renovated "Kotten", but also modern flats with a view of the picturesque landscape, lots of space, peace and nature await you.
But living in the countryside in Münsterland also means in most cases: Being in the city or at work in no time at all. From many villages you can commute easily into the city, have short distances and often reach Münster in half an hour or three quarters of an hour. Depending on the location, the Ruhr area, the Netherlands or East Westphalia are also easy to reach. The infrastructure in the countryside is particularly well suited for families with children. The communities in Münsterland offer local schools and a variety of childcare options for the little ones. The diverse range of leisure, cultural and sporting activities usually leaves nothing to be desired.
