EXCURSION: BAUMBERGE. HORSES. CAMINO. THE 9TH MÜNSTERLAND RIDE ON OCTOBER 11TH AT THE ALTROGGE-TERBRACK RIDING SCHOOL IN NOTTULN
Westphalian culture meets the spirit of the Camino
A pilgrimage doesn't have to end in Santiago de Compostela - sometimes Nottuln is the perfect destination. At the 9th Münsterland Ride, riders followed a route that combines nature, community and a touch of Spanish culture. The approximately 25 or 30-kilometre ride leads through the Münsterland countryside - with views like those in Galicia in northern Spain.
The starting point was the Altrogge-Terbrack riding school in Nottuln. From there, the route followed well-maintained paths towards Gerleve Monastery to Billerbeck, where a lunch break was an invitation to pause for a moment. As in Spain, where pilgrims have found refuge in monasteries for centuries, Westphalian culture met the spirit of the Camino here. With Münsterland tapas and a picnic on the monastery meadow, the riding experience, enjoyment and encounters were combined.
A day like a short pilgrimage: full of nature, community and a touch of Spanish joie de vivre.
