Canyon Lengerich

White-beige rock faces, turquoise-blue water and sparse vegetation give the so-called canyon in Lengerich its special charm. After the limestone quarry was closed down in the 1980s, a turquoise-blue lake formed on the lowest quarry floor. Visitors can enjoy this extraordinary landscape from three viewing platforms. The canyon itself and the surrounding landscape are under nature conservation - so it is not possible to enter.

The canyon is one of the "listening experience stations" in Lengerich.

The hiking trail "Teutoschleife Canyonblick" leads directly past the canyon.

Information for cyclists
The Tecklenburger Land is a very special exception in the Münsterland region: Here, cyclists encounter the foothills of the Teutoburg Forest and thus also elevations in the otherwise flat Münsterland. On the 4500 kilometre long Münsterland cycle path network, they can experience the special features of this beautiful region.
Unique experiences are offered above all by the numerous themed cycle paths that wind through the magnificent landscape. Themed cycle routes also run close to the canyon in Lengerich, providing an insight into the history and special features of the region:
