Cycling in Bocholt

If the Münsterland is rather flat, it appears even flatter at the border to the Lower Rhine. No elevation stands in the way of an extended cycle tour. No wonder cyclists feel particularly at home here. A beautiful cycle path leads along the Bocholter Aa to Borken in the Hohe Mark Nature Park. A fantastically beautiful castle awaits you on a cycle tour to Isselburg in the district of Anholt. And while you're here, take a look across the border to our Dutch neighbours. Here cycling is not just a popular sport but a true passion. Take your next cycle tour around Bocholt.
