The 49 km long and signposted circular cycle tour leads to interesting places of religious life and other exciting stops - suitable for cyclists with a basic level of fitness

Long before its reputation as a "world city of kitchens" was established, the town of Löhne was a center of religious renewal. Although this route also leads to interesting places of religious life, there are also other exciting stops along the way. Along the way there are places between "life and death", but all of them focus on the people of the region. Individuals are presented, but also their living conditions of days long past, which are presented in a museum setting.

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.
