Start: Rheda-Wiedenbrück town hall

Beautiful, varied tour in and around Wiedenbrück, which takes a closer look at the natural environment and the production site. 17 kilometers - also suitable for families with older children.

The tour starts in the Flora-Westfalica Park, a former state horticultural showground. From here, you cycle past forests, fields and meadows towards Lake Lintel, which is a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts in summer. You cycle further south until you reach the "Stadtholz" forest area and along the Ems back to Wiedenbrück.

In the historic old town, you can soak up the atmosphere and sights. Churches such as the Franciscan monastery in Wiedenbrück and St. Aegidius Church are located along the route. Numerous historic buildings on Lange Straße complete the picture of the old town. Small and cozy pubs invite you to take a breather: Why not enjoy a little refreshment before heading back to the starting point.
