Take 5

Attention: The section on "Lengericher Weg" is closed to bicycle traffic. Please use the bike path along B214 as an alternative. A change in signage is in progress. Thank you for your understanding!

The "Take 5" tour got its name because of the four official districts of Fürstenaus - Fürstenau, Hollenstede, Schwagstorf, Settrup - and the fifth unofficial district of Höne, through whose idyllic town centers with their five church towers you will ride on this route. This easy tour allows cyclists to relax and enjoy the beautiful, natural forest and meadow landscape. You start the circular tour in Fürstenau. See for yourself the distinctive cityscape of the old Hanseatic city and discover the historic castle with the castle island. The next section of the tour towards Schwagstorf offers plenty of variety. You will pass through the idyllic landscape past the Bojemühle and the mill pond. Further on, well-located benches offering scenic views invite you to take a break. Follow the signs and pass by the Catholic Church "St. Bartholomäus" and the Marienstift Schwagstorf. The tour now leads to Hollenstede with the Catholic Church "Maria Rosenkranz" and finally to Settrup, where the listed Heimathaus is located. Continue your journey along a scenic route towards Höne, also passing through the neighboring Emsland towards the "Drei Länder Eck", before returning to the castle and Hanseatic city of Fürstenau.
