Paderborner Land Route

The route leads through unique landscapes such as the heathland Senne with the Emsquellen, the green forests of the Eggegebirge, the karst-rich Paderborn plateau, the foothills of the northern Sauerland with the large Aabachtalsperre, and the Lippe lowlands with their typical canals.
Prominent sights such as the impressive monastery complex Dalheim, the mighty Wewelsburg, the former princely residence Schloß Neuhaus, the Paderborn town hall from the time of the Weser Renaissance, or the largest limestone bridge in Europe, the railway viaduct in Altenbeken, invite you to linger.
During the varied bike tour, you will repeatedly come across rivers, streams, and springs. In addition to the Ems, Lippe, Heder, Afte, and Alme, the course of the circular route also leads to the Pader, the shortest river in Germany.
The Paderborner Land Route leads almost exclusively on separate bike paths directly to the cities and communities of the Paderborner Land with their unmistakable charm. Here, cozy cafes and excursion restaurants tempt you with their regionally typical specialties such as bread, beer, asparagus, game, strawberries, or ice cream specialties.
The Paderborner Land Route is the only ADFC-classified cycle route in East Westphalia - rightly awarded with a good 3 stars.
