Historic town centers, characterized by narrow alleyways, picturesque corners, characteristic half-timbered gables and venerable churches, develop a specific charm. Each of these urban structures reveals an individual identity; the architectural ensembles and urban backdrops are just as different as the coexistence of historic and contemporary buildings, cultural depth and natural integration, urban dynamism and the experience of the surrounding landscapes. The towns of Warendorf, Rheda-Wiedenbrück, Rietberg, Lippstadt, Soest, Werl, Werne, Steinfurt and Tecklenburg bear witness to a rich history and reveal individual characteristics. Here, the heyday of medieval trade manifests itself in representative gabled buildings, while art treasures and sacred buildings convey the chronicle of past eras. The Historic Town Centers cycle route is a circular tour through a scenically attractive and excellently developed terrain, which offers a wealth of discoveries and distinctive experiences, complemented by various places to stop for refreshments.
