Cycling day trip from Münster to Nottuln

Ready for a fun day ride? This route takes you from the vibrant city of Münster to the charming village of Nottuln—perfect for a relaxed outing with a taste of Westphalia’s countryside.

Starting in Münster, you’ll leave behind its famous Altstadt, lively student vibe, and historic Prinzipalmarkt, heading southwest. The route covers about 24 km and is mostly on smooth paved paths, so it’s a comfortable spin for just about any bike. Expect mostly traffic-free cycle paths with a sprinkle of gravel and paving stones to keep things interesting.

You’ll enjoy gentle hills, with a little more climbing as you approach Nottuln, nestled at the foot of the Baumberge hills. Nottuln itself is worth a stop: its baroque church, cozy cafes, and old town charm make for a peaceful finish. Bring a picnic, soak in the rural views, and don’t forget to grab a local pastry before heading back!
