Valentine's Day in Münsterland
Valentine's Day is slowly approaching and the search for date and gift ideas for the day of love is in full swing. A walk around the nearest lake or a visit to your favourite restaurant with chocolate and flowers is certainly an acceptable choice. But there are so many other nice things you can do in Münsterland and give as a gift. Here are a few romantic suggestions!
Let yourself be inspired
Ideas for a special date
Of course, going out for dinner is the safest option for Valentine's Day. But how about something a little different?
- A visit to a museum in a castle or palace combines history and art with a magical setting. See below for some suggestions.
- You can also enjoy a concert, a dance performance or a play. In Münster there are several theatres to choose from, but also in Coesfeld the konzert theatre promises culture at its best.
- That's not active enough for you? Then why not take a hike through small forests and along waterways.
- A special kind of cinema experience awaits visitors at the "Alte Brennerei Ennigerloh", probably the smallest cinema in Münsterland. The cult cinema "Scala" in Warendorf also focuses on charm and history.
- You can switch off from everyday life and let yourself drift away in the Eymann Sauna in Münster or in the Steinbeck sulphur baths in Recke.

Wine tasting in a special atmosphere! In cooperation with the Allwetterzoo Münster, the Westphälische Pferdemuseum is organising a wine-tasting event that is as good as it gets. The evening starts at 6 pm with a guided tour of the zoo, followed by wine tasting. Appropriate appetisers will be served. The event ends at around 21:30 and costs 69 euros per person. Tickets can be booked on the website of the Allwetterzoos.
Beautiful places to stay
You've already planned the day and are just looking for a picturesque place to walk or to send a special message to your sweetheart? A noble residence, a nature spot or a castle park could be just the thing.
Valentine's Day Gift Ideas
More and more people are giving the gift of time rather than gifts to their loved ones. So give your sweetheart a picnic date in summer as early as February. You can sail together on the Aasee lake in Münster, drive through the Tecklenburg region in a vintage car or have a picnic in the rose garden in Seppenrade. A nice pastime is also jigsaw puzzles: surprise your partner with a Münsterland jigsaw puzzle with castle motifs. Or how about regional specialities from the farm shop? We recommend Grothues-Potthoff in Senden, the Schulze Rötering distillery in Ahlen or the Böcker Forstmannshof in Lüdinghausen.
Declaration of love to the Münsterland
In the past, people expressed their love through a poem. Today it may also be slam poetry. Dilara Yüksek describes the beautiful Münsterland in loving and authentic words. Almost like a little declaration of love. The video was recorded at the poetry slam on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Regional Culture Programme NRW.
