Werse River Cycle Route

A collection of 3 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

Follow the Werse through Münsterland, North Rhine-Westphalia, on a relaxed mix of riverside paths, quiet lanes, and dedicated cycleways. It’s mostly flat, with gentle ups, so it’s great for easy touring and family rides. Expect a blend of smooth asphalt and long gravel stretches, plus a few looser sections—wider tires (35–40 mm) make it comfy.

Start anywhere along the river and ride a short section or make it a full day out. You’ll pass meadows, woodland, and small villages, with plenty of picnic spots and cafés by the water. The route is easy to follow with local bike signs and any map app.

Best from spring to autumn. After rain, the unpaved bits can get soft, and parts under tree cover stay shady, so lights help. Public transport in the Münsterland region makes one‑way rides simple if you don’t want to loop back. Pack snacks, take your time, and enjoy a mellow riverside cruise.
