How do I get to the Blue Lagoon in Beckum by public transport?

Let’s work together to preserve what’s good! Use buses and trains for your journey and help protect the climate and the environment. In the Münsterland region, this is often much easier than you might think. Beckum-Neubeckum railway station is situated approximately 5 km from the Blaue Lagune. The station is served by regional trains from Bielefeld, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Duisburg, Essen, Gütersloh, Hamm, Herford, Cologne and Minden. Bus route R62 connects Beckum-Neubeckum railway station and Beckum coach station with the ‘Freudenberg’ bus stop. Bus route R38 also connects Beckum bus station with the ‘Ahlener Straße’ stop. The “Freudenberg” and “Ahlener Straße” stops are approximately a 15-minute walk from the Blaue Lagune.

Blue Lagoon

One look at the Dyckerhoff Lake in Beckum will make you think you've landed in the Caribbean. But this is actually Münsterland! Because of its turquoise-coloured water, the lake is also known as the "Blue Lagoon". The nature reserve, consisting of a biotope lake and a landscape lake, is a former limestone quarry. The two lakes are separated by a cycle and hiking path, along which both the Werse cycle path and the cement route run. The quiet area around the lake is ideal for relaxing walks, lingering or cycling.

Important note

To allow the nature reserve to develop undisturbed, access and use of the biotope lake is prohibited all year round. Access to and use of the landscape lake is prohibited from 1 April to 31 October. From 1 November to 31 March, access and use is prohibited between 10 pm and 6 am. In addition, certain rules of behaviour apply here, which you can read about on the Beckum city website. This means that you can still go for a walk or cycle here at any time - as long as you use the existing paths. This does not include the riverbank, for example.
