Cycle tour around Bocholt and Isselburg

You won't find any climbs on this 52 km cycle tour in western Münsterland. Instead, there are marvellous landscapes and great architecture to admire. The Anholt moated castle with its unique ambience is outstanding. It forms a charming contrast to the industrial culture of the LWL textile factory in Bocholt. Between these two highlights in Bocholt and Isselburg, a true cyclist's paradise stretches out beneath the wide horizon.

From there, it's not far to Anholt moated castle, which lies in the middle of an extensive park. Visits to the outside and a tour of the park are possible at any time, while tours of the inside are only available as part of a guided tour.

The route continues along the Dutch border back to Bocholt. Before reaching the city centre, the route passes through the city forest, which provides variety with its numerous animal enclosures. Once you reach the market square in Bocholt, there are plenty of places to stop for a bite to eat.
