Cycling in Lippe Valley

The name of the municipality of Lippetal already hints at the wonderful cycling tours that await cyclists here. With the 100 Castles Route and the Roman Lippe Route, two of the most popular cycle routes in Münsterland meet in Lippetal. The 100 Castles Route takes you north to Beckum and Oelde. Wide horizons, lush green meadows and small towns contribute to the harmonious landscape. The Römer-Lippe route leads along the Lippe either to Lippstadt and Bad Waldliesborn or to Hamm and Werne. The idyllic river surprises travellers time and again with its beautiful landscapes.

However, the practical honeycomb network allows for many more cycling tours. So you can put together a new tour from Lippe Valley every day - according to your needs and wishes. At the intersection of the regions, cycling tours are also possible as far as the Ruhr region or the hilly Sauerland.
