The Emsauen Loop | Tour Tip for Riders

East of Warendorf, this riding route leads along idyllic grass and sand paths. The Emsauen loops are very scenic and consist of two route variants: The west loop is nine kilometres long and the east loop is six kilometres long. Both loops can be easily combined with a connecting section. A special treat: two flat fords can be ridden through - but you can also bypass them if you prefer.

On the west loop you can explore a beautiful section of the route directly on the Ems. The trail runs along the river for three kilometres. This section is exclusively for riders. The connecting section between the west and east loops offers a special change of scenery on a sandy path: it is possible to ride through a ford in the southern valley of the Ems.

The east course leads along quiet bridle paths past fields, meadows and a golf course. Because this route can be divided into different sections, it is also ideal for a leisurely ride in the evening to unwind and then take a leisurely break.

Insider tip

Parking at the Emsauenschleife

There is a public trail riding car park for riders directly on the district road 18 (between the B 64 and the Ems), which also offers space for horse trailers. There is also a tethering bar for the four-legged friends. This ensures a quick and relaxed start to the route.

There is also a picnic bench for a cosy break at the rest area halfway between the two loops.
