The third unsignposted route from the Nature Cycling Guide leads through Kirchlengern and Löhne and is a perfect circular route for all nature and architecture lovers. The route starts and finishes at Kirchlengern railroad station.

The connecting element is the buildings: churches, manor houses, castles, palaces and museums accompany you on this interesting circular tour. Venerable and magnificent residences of district administrators and knights, great farmers and bats are picturesquely hidden in the landscape along the Werre and Else rivers. There is plenty of space for historical references - but also leisure for relaxed cycling along the most beautiful avenue far and wide.

Further information on the route and the waypoints can be found on the Herford district cycling leisure website: www.fahr-im-kreis.de. A brochure is also available for download there.
