Out of the city and into the countryside
The cycle path runs along the southern shore of Lake Aasee towards the city centre and then turns onto the “Promenade” – Münster’s old town ring road for cyclists. From here, the route continues into the modern harbour area. Whilst still within the city limits, you’ll reach the Dortmund-Ems Canal. The cycle path continues to the Pleistermühle. Its picturesque setting on the River Werse makes the Pleistermühle a popular destination for day trips. A lovely spot for a break, a round of mini-golf or a short canoe trip.
TheRiver Werse will be your companion for the next few kilometres. The little river winds its way northwards through fields and meadows. At Haus Dyckburg, the cycle route turns back towards Münster city centre and reaches the promenade. Take the opportunity to make a short detour to the Prinzipalmarkt – the city’s ‘parlour’. The cycle path along the promenade takes you straight to Münster Castle. A little later, you’ll reach the area around the Aasee again. Passing the Mühlenhof Open-Air Museum, your next stop is once more theAllwetterzoo.
Tip: Make sure you allow enough time to visit the zoo at the end of your cycle tour. Getting up close to the animals isn’t just a treat for children!
