The new bikeline compact cycle tour book describes the "Werse-Ems-Radweg" from Rheda-Wiedenbrück on a 200 kilometre route through the Münsterland region to the cycling city of Münster. A variety of water landscapes with rivers, canals, lakes and the Werse estuary into the Ems can be found along the route. Historic towns, numerous castles and mills lie along the way. There are also many interesting facts to discover about the history and industrial heritage of the region. The cycle tour book also describes an excursion to Hamm on a former railway line.
Almost 50 per cent of the Werse-Ems Cycle Route consists of excellently developed cycle paths and good cycle infrastructure - from a surface that is easy to cycle on to continuous signposting. The other half of the route runs on quiet roads without any significant gradients. The Werse-Ems cycle route is therefore ideal for leisure cyclists, e-bikers and families.
The cycle tour is possible completely car-free by bike and train. The tour starts at Rheda-Wiedenbrück railway station. There are other railway stations along the way if you want to organise your cycle tour differently. The route of the Werse-Ems cycle path is very natural and idyllic, leading through fields, forests and meadows and often directly along the water. The Bee Museum in Drensteinfurt and the Four Seasons Park in the town of Oelde also bring cyclists closer to the topics of ecology and the environment.
With its practical square paperback format and detailed information and maps, the bikeline compact cycle tour book "Werse-Ems-Radweg" is ideal for planning before you set off. Bike tour as well as for the journey itself. When opened, it fits easily into the handlebar bag so that the route maps are always clearly visible. The precise topographical maps at a scale of 1:50000 and the numerous city maps provide information on road surfaces, traffic volumes, gradients and tourist attractions.
Each section is supplemented by an altitude and route profile and a downloadable GPS track. The bikeline cycle tour book also provides background information, precise route descriptions, cultural and tourist information on local offers and a comprehensive directory of accommodation and cycle services in a practical and easy-to-read layout. Route changes and news from the accommodation providers are communicated regularly and up-to-date via the bikeline live update.
