By bicycle from Haltern am See to Dülmen

Set off from the lakeside charm of Haltern am See, a lovely town known for its scenic reservoir, sandy beaches, and historic old town. This ride to Dülmen is about 15 kilometers—great for a relaxed morning or afternoon spin. You’ll pedal mostly on quiet roads and smooth asphalt, with the occasional stretch on a gravel path and some paving stones (watch those if it's wet!). It’s a gentle route—the highest climb is just over 70 meters, so nothing too strenuous.

The scenery is green and peaceful as you glide through farmland, meadows, and cozy villages. Dülmen is your rewarding finish: famed for its wild horses that roam free in the Merfelder Bruch nature reserve, and a cute center to grab a bite or a coffee. All in all, this is a fun, easygoing ride connecting two beautiful towns in the Münsterland region—perfect for cyclists who love a mix of nature and small-town vibes.
