Museum/Exhibition Tourist attractions – various

The numerous restored and refurbished light railways still remind us of the times when various mineral resources were extracted in and around Lengerich. It was impossible to imagine this time without the light railways, as they were indispensable for transporting the raw materials to the production sites. In the Westphalian light railway museum in Lengerich, visitors can still experience at first hand how important this transport system was for the region. A short ride also conveys the ride comfort typical of light railways.
