On the trail of the Stever

The starting point of the 52 km cycle tour is the imposing Vischering Castle. Lüdinghausen Castle, whose moats are fed by the waters of the River Stever, is just a few pedal strokes away. You leave Lüdinghausen by bike and arrive in the small district of Seppenrade. A small incline awaits you on this section. The rose garden at the entrance to the village features countless roses in every imaginable colour.

The cycle path leads through the partly wooded, partly open landscape to the Hullern reservoir. The lake is beautifully and quietly surrounded by dense forests. The Hullern reservoir is a real insider tip for anyone seeking relaxation.

This cycle tour leads back through the Stever floodplains near Olfen. The floodplain landscape offers a unique nature experience. Many places invite you to linger and observe. Numerous animals such as Heck cattle, wild horses, storks and Poitouesel make the nature reserve seem particularly lively. You can find lots of information about the Stever floodplains in the nature park centre. Experience a fascinating natural spectacle in the more than 100-hectare floodplain before continuing your cycle tour towards Lüdinghausen.
