Dissen Town Hall and Eiscafé at the Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The small town of Dissen is home to various food production companies. I'm just saying "Homannomannomann" (as known from relevant advertising). And it all started in the 19th century with …

Experience border experiences or become a border crosser

We would like to recommend a great cycling experience in the Osnabrück region!

In addition to our not so nice "border experiences" around Hamm, we set off on the beautiful Teuto - Ems border crosser route and can say:

It was simply fantastic!

Here are a few highlights of our tour:

March 13, 2022,Grenzgänger-Route Teuto-Ems: Gute Luft und heilsames Wasser

Today we used the glorious weather for the first bike tour of the year. The tour is relatively unspectacular. Emils Wirtshaus is grandiose and definitely to be recommended: unbeatable in terms of hospitality and warmth. Otherwise, the tour lived on the good air and the half-hour break in front of the Saline in Bad Rothenfelde.

August 10, 2022,Grenzgängerrunde, Tour 3

The Grenzgängerrund with its 3 parts is a really nice bike route. You almost always drive on asphalt. Most of the time, these are side streets that are really hardly used. Traffic density is maybe one car every 10 minutes. Only when it goes through towns is there more going on. The route also has a lot to offer in …

October 5, 2024,Rundkurs 3: Gute Luft und heilsames Wasser – Grenzgängerroute Teuto-Ems

We started the 3rd stage of the border crossing route in Versmold. It again mostly ran on quiet back roads. 🙂
In the Bad Rothenfelde area up to Dissem we rode - on cycle paths - mostly on main roads. 🥲
Our conclusion:
With a few exceptions, we liked the three border crossing routes and enjoyed the beautiful landscape. The …

Where smugglers secretly brought valuable salt across the border between the kingdoms of Prussia and Hanover in the 18th century, the Teuto-Ems Border Crossing Route now runs 148 kilometers through magnificent landscapes and picturesque towns. The route can be traveled in three stages or as a single route. My route does not correspond to the original route at certain intersections.

It was just too hot today. 🥵 Please remind me not to cycle over 29 degrees in the shade anymore.

The landscape is great and varied. I had to cancel the ascent to the Luisenturm due to technical problems.

October 11, 2023,Grenzgängerroute Borgholzhausen - Versmold - Bad Rothenfelde - Borgholzhausen

Today we did the first of the 3 cross-border cross-border tours. We started in Borgholzhausen via Versmold Bad Rothenfelde Dissen back to Borgholzhausen. The route leads almost exclusively over field paths and side roads. There is also a small single trail section. Only the through town of Versmold takes you along a busy road. Many rest areas and benches invite …
