Warendorf

Warendorf presents itself to its guests as a cosmopolitan town with charm. Anyone who loves romantic town centres, cycling or horse riding is in good hands in the district town.

Horse and Ems town

Warendorf is the "horse metropolis" of the republic! A visit to the North Rhine-Westphalian State Stud is an absolute must for all horse and riding enthusiasts. The state stud is the centre of horse breeding and equestrian sport. Guided tours are also offered here. The institution has gained international fame through the stallion parades - as well as the national championships.

But Warendorf is not just a horse town, it is also a town on the Ems. If you are looking for relaxation by the water, the Emssee and Emsseepark are just the place for you.

Enchanting old town

A guided tour of the historic old town is also recommended; Warendorf's medieval market square alone is worth a visit. The Franciscan church and the monastery, which is now home to the West Prussian State Museum, are well worth a stop. Freckenhorst Castle and Vinnenberg Monastery are also eye-catching. The best way to discover the sights is on a cycle tour along idyllic cycle paths. Some of the most beautiful cycle tours in Münsterland come together in Warendorf: EmsRadweg, 100 Castles Route, European Cycle Route R1.
