Hopsten

In the midst of idyllic, dreamy countryside - but not sleepy - lies Hopsten at the foothills of the Teutoburg Forest, very close to the border with Lower Saxony. So you can decide every day whether you prefer to cycle on the flat paths of the Münsterland or discover the hilly landscape of the Teutoburg Forest.

On the trail of the Tödden

In earlier times, important trade routes led from Hopsten to the Netherlands. Today, the well-kept Tödden houses, the Töddenland circular hiking trail and the Töddenland cycle path are reminders of this eventful time. You can also find out more about the travelling traders at the Töddenmuseum in Mettingen.

Hopsten shines with village flair

The municipality of Hopsten offers plenty of village flair: baroque churches, an old village smithy, game reserves, the historic Overmeyer oil and grain mill in the Halverde district, cosy pubs and more. The best way to explore Hopsten, Schale and Halverde is by bike or on foot. Don't forget to visit the "Heiliges Meer" nature reserve and the bee museum.
