Nature conservation route

The circular tour starts in the centre of Ostbevern. From there, the route first leads to the orchard meadow on the edge of the village, an example of a traditional, species-rich cultural landscape. The route then continues to the One World shop, which sells fair-trade coffee from the Rwandan Kivu region - a symbol of global responsibility and local partnership.

The route continues to the Eggenhaus farm, where sustainable agriculture and nature conservation go hand in hand. Here, visitors can gain an insight into organic farming methods. The route continues to the Siemann farm garden, which contributes to the promotion of biodiversity with its diverse biotopes. The Eichendorffsiedlung estate shows how nature-oriented design can be realised in the residential environment.

The tour then reaches the Kock chicken and pig farm, which practises species-appropriate animal husbandry. Loburg Castle follows shortly afterwards with its English landscape park, characterised by rhododendrons and ponds. The park is an example of historical garden design and provides a habitat for numerous animal and plant species.

The route continues through the Beverauen, where renaturalisation measures are helping to restore natural river landscapes. In Westbevern, the historic Haus Langen with its former watermill and neighbouring nature reserve invites you to linger. The route then runs along the Ems, crosses the Telgter Heide and finally reaches Telgte with its historic town centre and famous pilgrimage church.

From Telgte, the route leads back to Ostbevern, passing further examples of sustainable land use and ecological change. The tour combines an experience of nature with cultural and ecological places of learning and is particularly suitable for cyclists who value sustainability and regionality.

You can park your car at Raiffeisenstraße 33, 48346 Ostbevern. It is also possible to join the route here.

Guided tours

Guided tours on the Wandeln & Handeln cycle routes for groups of 5 to around 25 people provide in-depth knowledge and new perspectives on global justice and sustainable development. Accompanied by one or two cycle guides, the tours offer informative background information, interactive knowledge impulses and intensive nature and project experiences. Places of change are visited along the route, where topics such as the Sustainable Development Goals, sustainable consumption, regional cycles and global partnerships become tangible.

The tours are aimed at thematic beginners as well as committed groups who want to learn more and get to know successful sustainability projects in the Münsterland region.

The route length can vary between 15 and 40 kilometres. The number and selection of stations visited and the scope of the tour can be individually agreed with Vamos e.V.
