Experience the WerseRadweg
Experience the WerseRadweg
The blue ribbon of the Werse stretches from its source near Beckum to where it flows into the Ems near Münster.
The "Beckumer Berge" sound much higher than they are. However, the undulating landscape has its very own charm for cyclists. Once you have enjoyed the panorama on the Höxberg, you will get an idea of the vastness of the region.
Stop off in Beckum, where the Werse is born! Stop off at the family-run Bett+Bike Hotel "Samson" in the centre of Beckum, directly on the Werse cycle path.
The hotel welcomes WerseRadweg cyclists with an attractive ambience and a cosy restaurant. It offers all cyclists the comprehensive service that will make your cycling tour on the WerseRadweg a pleasant travel experience.
