Bike tours through Espelkamp's beautiful countryside, mostly flat and well-maintained, low-traffic paths invite you to get active. Get on your bike and off you go.

This bike tour goes through the middle of the town of Espelkamp and the focus is on the many artistically designed facades of apartment buildings. Several color designers have implemented a philosophy or an idea developed specifically for these buildings or entire neighborhoods.
