Western gatehouse

Information for cyclists
The western gatehouse is located directly at the Münsterland junction system and is a great starting point for extensive cycle tours. If you like metres in altitude, turn off towards Billerbeck and you will be rewarded with beautiful views. The cycle paths towards Dülmen, Haltern am See or Lüdinghausen with its castles are gentler, but no less attractive.
