Very nice, but can get very crowded!

If the road is closed—as it was in my case—the dike is a great alternative. Unfortunately, it's not asphalt, but cobblestones. Still easy to ride on a road bike.

This "bauKULTURstelle" (building culture center) in the Westphalian village of Dingden originates from a civil society initiative. The renovation of the two old buildings has created a vibrant town center with a vibrant program: https://baukulturstelle.de

This two-story gatehouse was located in front of the former Werth moated castle (site: raised hill - today the Church of St. Peter and Paul) and was part of the city fortifications. However, nothing of the former city wall remains today; only this gatehouse remains. It is believed to have been built in the 16th century. This building was already referred to as the "Rathaus" (town hall) on a map from 1768. It has a red tiled roof with a small ridge turret, and the pointed gable walls are decorated with corner battlements. It forms the end of the small market square/forecourt between Deichstraße and Binnenstraße. It was severely damaged in World War II and subsequently rebuilt. After its final restoration in the early 1960s, the Werth City Council met in the meeting room once a month until 1975. Following the municipal reorganization in early 1975, Werth lost its independence and became a district of the city of Isselburg. Later, Werth clubs and associations used the hall, and most recently, an engineering firm. (Source: Werth Local History Society) Since 2011, the historic town hall has been privately owned and completely restored by the owner. It can be rented for private or business events, conferences, and celebrations, such as civil weddings. Rentals and questions about the space can be directed to: info@torhaus-burg-werth.de

From here you have a beautiful view of Werth and the Church of St. Peter and Paul, situated on a hill. The road is a good and quiet alternative for cyclists and is not as busy as the dike road. The Kampkesdeich is the continuation of the Isseldeich and leads directly into the village of Werth.
