Berkelaue Gescher

Information for cyclists
Gescher is a hub for cyclists. Numerous cycle paths meet here. The Flamingo Route as well as the river cycle paths along the Berkel, Aa and Slinge run through the urban area of the municipality in the western Münsterland. On these routes, cyclists experience particularly beautiful nature. Perhaps they will even discover flamingos in the Zwillbrocker Venn in summer.
Gescher is considered the gateway to the western Münsterland. Numerous cycle paths run through the almost flat landscape. Lovely neighbouring towns such as Südlohn, Stadtlohn or Legden are also waiting to be discovered. The Dutch border is not far away. It is definitely worth taking a look across the border at the small town of Winterswijk.
The following themed cycle route runs through the Berkelaue:
