Park at Gravenhorst Monastery

Cycling routes
The DA Kunsthaus Kloster Gravenhorst with its park and Café Klara are located in honeycombs 8 and 9 of the Münsterland cycling region. With a cycle path along Gravenhorster Straße, the monastery is well connected to the NRW cycling network.
The Hase-Ems route runs along the monastery, and the NaTourismusroute des Tecklenburger Landes and the Sagenroute are located towards Ibbenbüren. Mountain bikers like to take a tour along the Hermannsweg through the Teutoburg Forest, which is also in the immediate vicinity. If you like it a little flatter, follow the Mittalland Canal or the Dortmund-Ems Canal.
Riding route
The Münsterland riding route is located in the immediate vicinity in the direction of the Teutoburg Forest, near Riesenbeck. Here, horse and rider can expect various riding trails with sandy as well as natural surfaces.
Hiking routes
Directly at the monastery garden is the small "Nonnenpättken" with good signposting. The small path leads through the monastery garden, through an adjacent forest and around the grounds.
For those with a little more stamina and strength, the Teutoburg Forest awaits with Hermannshöhen and Teutoschleifen. From the car park at the back, it is about 1.5 kilometres into the forest before you find yourself in the middle of the wooded mountains. Here, hikers can follow the Hermannsweg (white "H" on a black background) or, for example, the Teuto loops "Waldauenweg" or the "schöne Aussicht". Numerous seating areas and historical highlights are part of all hiking routes.
