Tips from the Community

The first name Johannes has been widespread since biblical times, so it should not surprise us to find a whole series of blessed and holy figures with this name over the two millennia of Christianity. On the threshold of the Old and New Testaments, we encounter John the Baptist (also Johannes Baptist), to whom most Johannes churches are dedicated. But one of the four men who wrote the New Testament Gospels also bears this name.

⛪ St. Agatha's Church is the main Catholic church in Dorsten's old town and looks back on almost 900 years of history. It is an impressive testament to the citizens' will to rebuild after the almost complete destruction of the city in 1945.

The classic. Good asphalt, but the traffic is somehow getting more and more numerous and increasingly stupid.

You can do it, but you don't have to. Some parts are pretty dirty, as the bike paths here are second-rate and poorly maintained.

So lovingly prepared and if you are thirsty or need a snack, you can get one from the vending machine for a reasonable price. There is also a toilet available.
