From Legden through the Steinfurt countryside

The cycle tour around Legden offers you a mixture of history, idyllic landscapes and architecture. Right in the town centre, the dahlia garden invites you to enjoy a colourful start in summer, before the tranquillity of the rural surroundings unfolds behind the Mühlenbach stream. In Asbeck, the traditional Asbeck Abbey dating back to 1132 awaits you with impressive architecture and exciting insights at the weekend.

On the way to Schöppingen, between fields and pastures, you will feel creative impulses - starting with exhibitions in the artists' village and various festivals in the community. Art, crafts and the award-winning Sasse distillery also provide special moments, which you can experience intensively on a guided tour.

Then it's onwards: via Leer you reach Steinfurt, where the district educational garden will surprise you with its varied diversity. Cosy cafés on the market square invite you to take an enjoyable break. The moated castle in Steinfurt is an impressive highlight of this tour.

On juicy paths to historical insider tips

Behind the Bagno Park, gentle inclines and sweeping views provide the backdrop for Haus Alst and the Burgmannshöfe in Horstmar - a historic ensemble that you can discover at your own pace on a tour.

On the way back towards Schöppingen, the Münsterland once again shows you the full diversity of its landscape: open fields, lush greenery and characteristic farms accompany you on a section that makes this cycle tour a lasting and impressive experience.
