Bagno and Max Clemens Canal circuit

The cycle tour starts in the centre of Emsdetten and leads along the Mühlenbachweg through Hollingen towards Lintel's Kotten, where the historic Max Clemens Canal is reached for the first time. The route continues via Nordwalde to Steinfurt-Borghorst. The town centre invites you to take your first break.

The Bagno-Park is reached a little later. The wooded area impresses with its old trees, quiet paths and picturesque lakes. The concert gallery, which skilfully combines modern and historical stylistic elements, takes centre stage. A few metres further on, you reach the outskirts of Steinfurt-Burgsteinfurt, where the imposing moated Steinfurt Castle and the romantic gatehouse provide a picturesque backdrop. Then you reach the market square lined with historic houses.

The way back to Emsdetten leads through the typical Münsterland park landscape with its fields, meadows and hedges. The canal is reached again shortly after the Borghorster Venn. Shortly before Emsdetten, it becomes really idyllic once again in the fairy forest.

The circular route begins and ends in Emsdetten. Cycling enthusiasts can travel here by car or public transport as well as by bike.

Travelling by car:

Emsdetten is excellently connected to the road network via several main roads. We recommend travelling via the A1 motorway (Cologne-Münster-Bremen) via the Greven exit (coming from the south) and continuing on the B 481 or via the Ladbergen exit (coming from the north) and continuing on the B 475.

From the direction of Emsland and the Netherlands, we recommend travelling via the A 30 motorway (Amsterdam-Osnabrück) to the Rheine-Nord exit. Continue via the B 70 towards Rheine and then via the B 481 towards Emsdetten.
