Sports in Münster
From Prinzipalmarkt to the Münsterland in hiking shoes
Who said that mountains are needed when it comes to hiking? It’s true that the landscape surrounding Münster is flat, but it’s anything but boring! A network of hiking paths, which are rich in variety and hardly slope at all, make Münsterland an ideal hiking area for both old and young.
Put on a pair of comfortable, sturdy shoes and get going! Hike along the traditional processional and pilgrim paths or side routes and into the park landscape. This is where you can discover farms in picturesque settings and enjoy the diversified landscape.
