The Füchtelner Mühle looks simply good from the deeper part of the Stever, especially in the evening sun. The beautiful picnic area is definitely recommended, even for larger groups.

The Klutensee was created in 1936/37 during the construction of the new passage for the Dortmund-Ems Canal, as earth was needed for the filling of the railway embankment.

Münsteraner🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️
May 6, 2023, Lüdinghausen - Olfen - Seppenrade 🚴🚴‍♀️🌞🌼🌳🤗

We started in Lüdinghausen with the intermediate destinations Olfen and Seppenrade. 🚴🚴‍♀️ The beautiful weather for cyclists and the course of the tour made this round an experience. Hardly any traffic on the few side streets and only great routes through nature. Through fields, forests and also along the canal. We experienced once again how beautiful the Münsterland is. Striking were the paths past the very well-kept farms. It blooms and greens wherever you look. We took our first break in tranquil Olfen. On the canal road there is a nice little lake with benches that invites you to stop. Continue along the Old Ride to the Lippe. The path also led through the NSG Lippeaue. Two short stops at the Lippe and at the Eversum forest holiday resort through wooded areas in the direction of the Olfen natural pool. We crossed the Stever at Kökelsumer Straße. The next destination was the Kökelsum farmer's shop with its very nice courtyard cafe. Here we treated ourselves to a little refreshment ☕️🍰 in the garden 😋. The next destination was the rose garden in Seppenrade. The way there, just great. We were aware that we could not expect blooming rose plants in the rose garden. A small tour was still very nice. From Seppenrade past the NSG Plümer field. At about km 30 we left the Plümer Feldweg and then wanted to drive along the old ferry to the DEK. The short stretch along the old ferry was hardly passable. So please don't copy it. Do not leave the Plümer Feldweg and continue to the DEK. On the way to the starting point, a short stop at Klutensee. We've already done a few bike tours, but this round is one of the most beautiful tours with very small drawbacks. ☀️🍀🪻🌷🌳🌼 🤗

Today we cycled the THIRD leg of the 🍀Lüdinghausen Cloverleaf Cycle Tours 1-4🍀. We had a blast on this tour, too. It went through many nature reserves. At about 30km, there's a great rest area with benches and tables.

I found the tour on a leaflet as 'Cloverleaf Tour No. 3, Into the Olfener Stever and Lippeauen'. I have to say I'm very excited. Even the "entry" at the small forest car park made you want to. In Seppenrade we also looked at the rose garden. The absolute highlight, however, were the rapids on the Lippe. The whole tour was a great autumn pleasure, to be recommended for cycling.

The third tour starting in Lüdinghausen 😃 The sun 🌞 shines non-stop from the sky and no matter which direction the path took me, a light and constant wind always came from the front 😅 The route leads through beautiful countryside, often along the canal and through many forest sections. The rest on the Lippe invited you to unwind. A beautiful and varied tour 😊

Did a Whitsun tour with 15 friends and a picnic. In the nicest weather, around the Stever. 👍🙋‍♂️🚴‍♀️👋😋

Very nice tour with lots of variety and great highlights!

In order to make good use of the two hours of jack support maintenance at SHR Hydraulik, I took my bike and chose a nice tour around Lüdinghausen. It goes along the water a lot, there are hardly any roads and after about 20 kilometers the farmer's café is waiting with fresh cake and coffee ;) Overall, a highly recommended tour - with or without jack support maintenance. P.S.: At the first railway barrier you have to press the button to make it go up. Otherwise you'll be waiting forever...
