Beautiful tour of the Münsterland. On the day of our tour, the fair was in the park / fairground and some construction sites were in the way. That's why we couldn't park in the Lohwall car park. Otherwise you can park in the Lohwall car park (see picture).

Today we did a 🚲 tour, which we took from a laid out flyer. We went to the 🏰 Harkotten double castle complex, to the Unkemann fountain and to the North Rhine-Westphalian state stud 🐴 Warendorf.
Great paved paths with many avenues 🌳🌲 and a landscape that allows a wide view 👁. Easy 👍🏼
