Sendenhorst: Cycling Routes, Nature and Culture

Sendenhorst offers a range of themes to focus on when planning your trip: cycling routes, a break at Werse Beach, views and culture. The specific attractions vary in whether they focus on a single stop, a longer route or an events programme. If you are looking for a hotel in Sendenhorst, these themes can help you decide what to focus on during your stay.

Cycling on a Variety of Routes

Werse Beach is directly connected to the cycling network, and the 100 Castles Route passes by it. The Werse Cycle Route is a separate route: this 123-kilometre trail runs through the southern part of the Warendorf district and includes Sendenhorst. The two routes therefore offer different points of reference for planning: Werse Beach is linked to the 100 Castles Route, while the Werse Cycle Route covers a longer regional stretch.

There are 34 information boards along the Werse Cycle Route, as well as regular rest areas with tables and benches. This means you can find both information and places to take a break along the way. If you include the Werse Cycle Route in your plans, these details can help you find your way along the route. For independent outings, the town administration also lends tourists up to two Gazelle e-bikes from the town hall. Confirm availability before your trip.

Werse Beach, Water and Views

At Werse Beach, a yellow sandy beach invites you to linger. The Werse Canal here includes a small island that provides a habitat for fish and small aquatic organisms; stepping stones provide access to the island. A shelter, tables and benches are nearby. The spot therefore combines a beach area with views of the waterside landscape and a sheltered place to rest.

Hof Schmetkamp offers a shady spot for a picnic or a quiet break. For a different perspective, head to the observation tower in Himmelreich: its viewing platform, 11.47 metres high, offers views across Sendenhorst and the Münsterland park landscape. Werse Beach and the observation tower offer different ways to enjoy the outdoors—one by the water, the other with sweeping views of the town and surrounding landscape.

Art and Culture in Sendenhorst

The signposted Bernhard Kleinhans trail leads to 21 works at eight stops in Sendenhorst. Spread across several stops, the trail offers a different way to discover art in town than a single exhibition visit.

Haus SIEKMANN complements this offering with concerts, cabaret, theatre, readings, children’s cinema and talks. The outdoor grounds of Haus SIEKMANN are open to the public. The events add a distinct cultural element alongside the trail; individual dates may change. If you want to attend a particular programme, check the event dates in advance.

Cycling routes, a spot by the water, views and culture give you a range of points of reference for planning a trip to Sendenhorst.
