Information for cyclists
Small nature reserves and natural areas as well as the foothills of the Teutoburg Forest characterise the landscape around Mettingen. Due to the slightly hilly landscape, a cycle tour can sometimes be more demanding, but cyclists are rewarded with beautiful views. Cycle tours to Tecklenburg or Hörstel to the Gravenhorst Monastery and the Nassen Dreieck are worthwhile. For those who, like the Tüötten, would like to travel beyond the "borders", there are perfect opportunities to explore the southern Emsland or the Osnabrück region from Mettingen.
The following signposted themed cycle routes lead through Mettingen and bring cyclists closer to special features of the region:
