Münsterland

The name "Münster" stands not only for an exciting city, but for a region of exceptional interest too.

The surrounding Münsterland to which it lends its name is renowned for natural scenic beauty, biking tours from moated castle to moated castle, equestrian sports, colorful customs and quaint old folk festivals, priceless cultural treasures, fabulous sports, recreation and leisure fun, as well as hospitality over hearty fare in a rustic ambience. In Münsterland, more than 100 castles, fortresses and palaces give clues of a glorious past. Visitors can explore and discover pearls like the romantic Darfeld Castle, the medieval Vischering Fortress and Nordkirchen Palace, known as the Westphalian Versailles.
Münsterland is also home to the Münsterland Bicycle Park, a network of more than 2,500 miles of mapped, signed paths.
