Restoration of the Ems River below the mouth of the Axtbach

Highlight • River

The construction work has been completed and the vegetation begins. A detour is definitely worth it. You can watch nature wonderfully from the new bridge.

Highlight • Cycleway

A very nice bike path, which unfortunately gets a bit narrow when there are lots of people. Mutual consideration is key here.

Once in the neighboring circle and back. The route is easy to manage and is mostly off busy roads. Lots of green, great avenues and many typical Münsterland farms. In Warendorf am Emsee today, Sun 12.06.2022, would be another nice wine festival (see photos with the benches and tents). Have fun and have a good trip.

A very nice tour.
Cappuccino and waffle with spaghetti ice cream. Have seen Heinz-Josef Sökeland and also visited him and Gaby recently. Was very nice.
