Experience Versmold by bike
The BahnRadRoute (Train-bike-route) Teuto Senne
The BahnRadRoute Teuto Senne leads from the medieval Osnabrück to Paderborn, along the sunny west side of the Teutoburg Forest. Noteworthy is the wealth of cultural and historical highlights in the area of Ravensberg (Ravensberger Land). Especially Bockhorst, the old church village in the eastern part of the town Versmold, is always worth a visit. A separate brochure with premium maps is available for the BahnRadRoute Teuto Senne.

The Bikeroute R14
Another exciting itinerary biking/cycling route is the R14 - a route around Versmold without gradients. It takes the cyclists through an area which shows the typical features of ostmünsterländischen sand levels. Through earlier decades, these sand levels offered little inventive to use the soil for agricultural purposes, due to bogs and dunes. Today, however, large lakes are embedded in this once monotonous field which function partly as habitats, and partly as a recreational area. Especially alluring is the ‘Versmolder Bruch’ (‘break’ of Versmold), which has become an undisturbed breeding and whereabouts for many bird species.
