Experience historic cities
On the R1 European cycle route from Münster to Detmold
If you only want to cycle a small section of the R1 European Cycle Route, the so-called "cultural stories" could be just right for you. They combine thematically matching, consecutive stages and can be cycled as day tours for two to three days. As the name suggests, the routes take you past regional cultural highlights and historical locations.
On the "Experience historic towns" stage, you can take a closer look at charming town centres. They "tell" of the exciting past of towns from Münsterland to Ostwestfalen-Lippe. Between the towns, the rural idyll awaits you as a beautiful contrast. In Münsterland, the landscapes tend to be flat, inviting you to cycle quickly, after which it becomes increasingly hilly.
