Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Münster à Hamm

This ride connects two classic Westphalian cities: Münster and Hamm—perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a mostly car-free cycling trip (over 75% on bike paths and quiet roads!). Rolling out from Münster, famous for its historic Altstadt, hip cafe culture, and unrivaled bike-friendliness, you’ll spend most of your journey gliding smoothly along well-paved surfaces (mostly asphalt and paving stones).

The route is gently rolling with barely 110 meters of ascent, so it’s ideal if you want to spin without breaking too much of a sweat. Watch for stretches along scenic farmland, tranquil villages, and maybe even some horses in pastures along the way.

You’ll finish up in Hamm, a city that’s a bit under the radar but rich in industrial history and noted for its huge glass elephant at Maximilianpark. With about 42 km of easygoing pedaling, this is a great day ride that links Münster’s relaxed urban vibe with Hamm’s quirky charm—with plenty of opportunities to grab a coffee or pastry at either end!
