There is a large car park on the grounds of Gerleve Abbey. However, this is not a trail riders' car park, nor is it a car park for harnesses, but only for cars.
For example, the B6 circular hiking trail passes the monastery.
Gerleve Abbey can also be reached by bicycle. The Sandstone Route and the Circular Cycle Route 84 pass close to the monastery.
