The unsignposted nature tour through Kirchlengern and the surrounding area is a perfect circular route for nature lovers. The route starts and finishes at the parking lot in front of the church in Kirchlengern on Lübbecker Straße / Auf der Wehme.

The nature tour through the municipality of Kirchlengern starts in the town center near the church and town hall. The route heads east past a renaturalized stream along Ulenburger Allee to Ulenburg Castle. A hereditary burial ground is a reminder of the old privileges of important families and a small museum of the history of the fire department. In the northern part of the tour, you are accompanied by the network of waterways of the Rehmerloh-Mennighüffer-Mühlenbach stream. Numerous branches of the stream with a mosaic of grassland, fields, tall shrubs and forest enrich the landscape all the way to Stift Quernheim. Well informed about the ladies of the monastery in the manor house, the route leads back to the Else and the town center of Kirchlengern. A shortcut route makes it possible to split the cycle tour in two.

Further information on the route and the waypoints can be found on the Herford district cycling leisure website: www.fahr-im-kreis.de. An audioguide and a brochure are also available for download there.
