Borken - town, country, river
On this cycle tour, you will explore the district town of Borken and its neighbourhoods with their typical farming communities. Picturesque river meadows, alternating woodlands, fields and flowering meadows characterise this varied route. So get on your bike!
There are many exciting buildings and nature experiences along this route:
- The Marbeck Heritage House and the listed railway station
- The nature reserve "Die Berge" - also known as "Fliegerberg" (a picturesque hilly landscape with charming views)
- The Gemen castle landscape with the Sternbusch forest park
- The Weseke district with special features in the Quellengrundpark around the Heimathaus (a perennial garden near the Bock windmill is a worthwhile detour)
In the north-west of Borken - right on the Dutch border - you will find the district of Burlo with its monastery and local history centre. Past the Klostersee lake and through farming communities, you reach the Pröbstingsee leisure area with its climbing forest, boating, swimming, playing and relaxing on the "BelleVue" platform. One of the most beautiful sections at the end of this tour: beautiful river meadows and picturesque landscapes - back to Borken's cosy town centre, where you can stroll through the shops or enjoy a coffee in one of the cafés.
