The next cycle tour takes you past the source of the river Berkel and through the hilly landscape of the Baumberge to the historic towns of Nottuln and Havixbeck. After Havixbeck, you leave the hills and cycle past Burg Hülshoff and beautiful country houses. Over the route of the former city wall, you enter the episcopal city of Münster. This ancient university town, which was a thriving Hanseatic city during the Middle Ages, has a glorious past.
A walk through Münster's old town is full of variety: characteristic gabled houses with their arcades, exclusive shops in a pretty Altstadt. On the Domplatz is an astronomical clock, a marvel from the late Middle Ages whose calendar extends to the year 2071.
