The most beautiful picnic spots along the R1 European cycle route

After a few sporty kilometres on the bike, it's time for a well-deserved (picnic) break! Along the R1 European cycle route in Münsterland, many idyllic spots await you and your outdoor meal.

In the middle of nature, surrounded by fields, trees or flower meadows, these picnic spots not only offer you a breather, but also real moments of enjoyment. Many invite you to linger with tables and benches , others surprise you with their special charm: right next to a castle, by the water or even in the middle of the zoo.

Make yourself comfortable, enjoy your favourite snack in the open air and let your gaze wander over the vast park landscape - then continue on the R1 and a lively journey through European cultural history.
