Fine asphalted Bahntrassenradweg from Ochtrup to Rheine. There you have access to the bike path Münsterland - also a Bahntrassenradweg, which brings you about 40 kilometers from Rheine to Coesfeld.

A good start for the railway line shortly after the start (or exit shortly before the end).

Approx. 23 km paved with the following route: Rheine - Neuenkrichen - Maxhafen - Wettringen - Welbergen - Ochtrup

Münsterland Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

You can really pedal on the 40 kilometers of the Münsterland cycle track. The former train route was expanded with slippery asphalt for cyclists and leads car-free through the beautiful Münsterland parkland.

A stroll through the beautiful old town of Burgsteinfurt is definitely worth it. The market and the town hall are particularly pretty.

Beautiful route, I can only recommend it.

A very nice bike tour, great paths and a nice highlight on the way back. At the Offlumer See there is the restaurant "Ewige Liebe" right on the shore, cyclists are very welcome

Nice tour over old railway lines and bicycle lanes, past the villages and towns in Münsterland. Ochtrup- Wellbergen- Neuenkirchen- Rheine- Steinfurt. Many recreational opportunities such as boules, playgrounds, beer garden and local recreation areas such as the Offlumer See.

From my point of view, the Metelen station, …
