Münster – until a few years ago the bike capital of Germany – is the starting point or stopover for numerous bike rides, or “Pättkesfahrten”, as the people of Münster call them. From the romantic “100 Castles Route”, to the mostly moated castles and palaces of the Münsterland, to shorter trips along the Werse, from trips further up and down the Ems to the Friedensreiter bike trail towards Osnabrück: the “Haus vom Guten Hirten” hotel is an ideal stopover or starting point for your biking holiday.
