Information for cyclists
Metelen is located in the Steinfurter Land, in the middle of the Münsterland park landscape surrounded by forests, meadows and small streams. Cycling tours along the Vechte river or into the Meteler Heide are particularly popular with cyclists. Destinations such as Burgsteinfurt with the Bagno and the historic old town or the historic Burgmannshöfe in Heek-Nienborg are also easy to reach by bike.
Numerous themed cycle routes offer interesting cycling tours through Münsterland. The signposted themed cycle routes each show special contents of the region and thus tell exciting stories about Münsterland. Various themed cycle routes also run close to Plagemann's Mühle:
Aa-Vechte Tour
Vechte Valley Route
The entrance to the Münsterland cycle path network, which is around 4500 kilometres long, is directly at the mill. After the visit to the museum, a cycle tour along the Vechte is recommended due to its direct proximity to the river.
