The Gütersloh parkland on the eastern edge of Münsterland is ideal for cyclists. On the approx. 35 km long route, you will not only find peace and relaxation in beautiful surroundings, but can also immerse yourself in the history and origins of the municipality. The route takes you through both former monastery complexes - Herzebrock Monastery, founded in 860 as a canon monastery, and Clarholz Premonstratensian Monastery, founded in 1133.
