The region between the mountain ranges of the Sauerland and the Münsterland parkland presents itself as an attractive terrain for exploration. The largely flat, yet structurally diverse landscape of the Hellwegbörde and the Lippe valley is ideal for relaxed cycling tours. Along the historic Hellweg, the fertile Börde landscape with its characteristic farmsteads and established village structures opens up. The routes lead through flowering meadows and floodplains, follow the meanders of idyllic rivers and reveal cultural treasures alongside unspoiled nature. These include venerable castles, stately church buildings as well as historic alleyways and half-timbered houses that represent the Westphalian architectural style. Numerous gastronomic establishments offer opportunities to stop off and enjoy a culinary break, often in traditional farm cottages and inns.
