View of the Dortmund-Ems Canal

Canal Bridges at Hiltrup

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful canal bridges, with very good bike paths to get out of Münster.

November 5, 2022,Kanalinsel Münster-Hiltrup 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🍁🍂

A round on the channel island of the Dortmund Ems Canal in Münster-Hiltrup. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️☁️🌥

The path is a gravel path and easy to walk, probably even with a stroller.
Today, on a weekday, the island was very lonely. But there was a lot going on on the canal, and there were lots of ships …

Today we circled the whole channel island near Münster Hiltrup. There were very few people there so that you could enjoy the peace and quiet there.

April 19, 2022,Mittagspause auf der Kanalinsel🌞🍀🥾

Today I took a lunch break on the Kanalinsel in Münster, with a little detour to Lake Hiltruper. Inspired by a hike by Cloudless. Thank you for that😘 I was surprised how much green there is on the island. I liked it very well.
