East Shore of Feldmarksee

Highlight • Lake

I always enjoy going to the Feldmarksee. Here you can swim, eat, drink and rest. Depending on the weather, it can get pretty busy here at the weekend.

June 22, 2025,Fahrradtour Füchtorf - Milte - Warendorf - Sassenberg - Füchtorf

We parked at Harkotten Manor.
From there, a varied tour with often unknown gems. Harkotten Castle is familiar, but I was completely unaware of the beautiful monastery, among other things.
A highly recommended tour!
Found on the Warendorf district website under the heading "From Gate to Gate."

July 17, 2021,Kloster Vinnenberg 💒 - Doppenschlossanlage Harkotten 🏰 Feldmark 🌳

On this round trip you cycle through the eastern Münsterland past the impressive Harkotten double castle complex. First it goes in the direction of the Ems and you soon pass the historic gatekeeper's house at the Münstertor. Through the wings, which formerly belonged to Marienfeld Abbey, you walk a little along the banks of the Ems. After crossing the river, …

Extensive tour with partly long, straight stretches, good passable ground / asphalt and little traffic.
Recommended large parking lot as a starting point directly on the Ems / Warendorf city center.

June 6, 2024,Kloster und Herrenhäuser rund um Warendorf

The tour was published by Münsterland Touristik. The title is quite boastful, as you will find exactly one monastery and exactly one manor house along the way. Both of these are worth seeing, however. The church tower in Sassenberg is also worth seeing. But the paths are particularly pleasing. Of the approximately 50 kilometers, around 500 meters are unpaved, a …

A beautiful tour in hot weather, like today's 29 degrees. Many shady sections, either along tree-lined country lanes or through the forest.

September 18, 2024,Kloster und Herrenhäuser – Rundtour von Sassenberg

Very nice circular tour from Sassenberg via Warendorf. Highly recommended is the coat of arms hall at Harkotten Castle (café) and the Austermann farm shop near Warendorf.
Great, varied cycle paths that are mostly traffic-calmed.
