Info picnics SteverLandRoute

You will find a special picnic experience for young and old along the SteverLandRoute in April, May and June. You can enjoy an info picnic at each individual stage of the cycle route in Senden, Lüdinghausen, Olfen and Haltern am See. The individual info picnics are thematically identical.

The SteverLandRoute is a cycle route along the River Stever and takes you around 70 kilometres through the Stever catchment area, from its source near Nottuln at the foot of the Baumberge mountains to its mouth in the River Lippe near Haltern am See.

You can bring your own picnic or pre-book one of the picnic restaurants along the route. You can find more information about the info points and info picnics here.

On your tour along the SteverLandRoute, you will find many other great picnic spots, for example at the Schulze Westerrath watermill or at the water playground behind Lüdinghausen Castle.

Important information: Bookings are only possible from May to June on request!
