Quick ride by bicycle from Emsdetten to Greven

This scenic ride takes you from Emsdetten to Greven—two charming towns in North Rhine-Westphalia, just north of Münster. The 14.6 km route is mostly flat, making it friendly for all levels, and you’ll be rolling mainly on paved or asphalt surfaces through peaceful countryside.

Leaving Emsdetten, known for its cozy town center and lush parklands, you’ll wind along tranquil paths and quiet streets—over half the way feels like a dedicated cycling trail. With nearly no tough climbs (the max elevation is just under 60 meters!), you can just relax and enjoy typical Münsterland landscapes: open fields, dotted farmhouses, and maybe even a few grazing horses.

As you approach Greven, a riverside town on the Ems, you’ll notice its laidback vibe and perhaps spot the historic Martinikirche or the old water tower. This ride is perfect if you’re after a relaxed outing or an easy commute between two welcoming Westphalian towns!
