Stage 9 Hohe Mark Cycle Route

Stage 9 of the Hohe Mark CycleRoute begins in Dingden with several kilometres of cycle path through the beautiful green landscape of farming communities.

In Isselburg-Vehlingen, cyclists can hear a distinctive clattering sound, especially in spring. These are storks building their nests here.

The magnificent and graceful moated castle of Anholt awaits its guests. It is one of the largest moated castles in Münsterland. Its oldest part is the "Fat Tower". It dates back to the 12th century. At the end of the 17th century, the castle was further extended into a baroque residence by the Princes of Salm. The castle park was also repeatedly redesigned. After the castle was destroyed in the Second World War, it was rebuilt in Baroque style and opened to the public.

The stage ends in Bocholt.

For cyclists who would like to do more, there is a trip to the Bürgerpark Mosse, where the focus is on nature recreation. Various bird species can be observed from a viewing platform.

By car via the A3 motorway (Oberhausen-Arnheim) to the Hamminkeln exit. Turn off onto the B473 towards Dingden. Follow the signs in the direction of Dingden. Take the 1st exit at the roundabout and the 3rd exit at the next roundabout.

Travelling by train via Hamminkeln-Dingden station. The station is approx. 1 km from the start of the route and is served by trains from Bocholt, Dinslaken, Düsseldorf, Duisburg and Oberhausen.

Parking spaces at the start of the stage are available at the comprehensive school on Krechtinger Straße in Hamminkeln and in Bocholt on Uhlandstraße.

The Hohe Mark cycle route is signposted throughout.

It is part of the junction system and can be recognised by the red/white signage. At intersections, arrow or destination signposts guide you in the right direction. Cyclists will also find the Hohe Mark RadRoute logo with the green bicycle here. Where the cycle paths only lead in one direction, there are regular rectangular intermediate signposts.
