Day Tour from Ahaus Castle

Wide landscapes and valuable nature reserves are the focus of this cycle tour. The cycle tour starts at Ahaus Castle, which is well worth seeing. The cycle path leaves Ahaus in a westerly direction and reaches the fields and meadows of the western Münsterland. The stage destination is the magnificent Haarmühle inn - right on the Dutch border. Here, at the latest, there is time for an extended rest. The cycle path continues to the Lünten fish ponds. In the past, intensive fish farming characterised the waters. Today it is a sensitive ecosystem that has many surprises in store for nature lovers. The "Schwattet Gatt" nature reserve is one of the most bilogically valuable wet heaths in NRW.
