The combination of historical ambience and the immediate proximity to the countryside make the approximately 390 km long cycle route the ideal vacation tour. Beautiful town halls, impressive churches and squares and the quaint, cozy cafés and restaurants that invite you to visit are waiting to be discovered.

Narrow alleyways, picturesque corners, half-timbered gables and imposing churches epitomize the charm of historic town centers. Each town has its own unique character: house ensembles and streetscapes vary just as much as the interplay between old and new buildings, culture and nature, urban hustle and bustle and the countryside.

Warendorf, Rheda-Wiedenbrück, Rietberg, Lippstadt, Soest, Werl, Werne, Steinfurt and Tecklenburg look back on an eventful history and yet differ at their core: sometimes representative gabled buildings "testify" to the medieval heyday of a town on important trade routes, sometimes art and churches "tell" of times gone by.


Surprises and unmistakable experiences characterize the Historic Town Centres cycle route, which leads through a scenic and well-developed cycling area.
