    Destinationpoint

    Jahnplatz (Ringstraße / Bolldammstraße in Enger)

    This unsignposted circular route through the Widukind town of Enger and the surrounding area to the south is a leisurely and varied tour through urban and rural areas and is perfect for families, senior citizens and leisure cyclists interested in the monument theme.


    The route starts and ends at Jahnplatz (Ringstraße / Bolldammstraße in Enger).

    This rural circular route around the Widukind town of Enger offers culture and relaxation in peaceful surroundings and leads through the gently rolling countryside. The Widukindstadt Enger is the start and finish point. Jahnplatz is the best starting point. From here, it is only a short distance to the Enger Bruch nature reserve. With a bit of luck, you may spot rare migratory and breeding birds. Leaving the Bruch behind you, you will reach the Sattelmeierhöfe farms in Westerenger. Ringsthof is also the highest point of the route. In Pödinghausen, there are several places to stop for food and drink before you pass two more historic farms in Oldinghausen. For a particularly nice picnic during the cycle tour, the Liesbergmühle in Enger is a must. Situated on a hill, the fantastically restored windmill offers a wonderful vantage point. From here, you return to the historic town center of Enger. Listed houses, churches worth seeing, old factories and small but very fine museums round off the tour.
    The route leads almost exclusively along roads with little traffic, independent cycle paths and paved farm tracks, some of which are closed to through traffic. This means that the circular route is also suitable for families with children.

    Further information on the route and the waypoints can be found on the Herford district cycling leisure website: www.fahr-im-kreis.de. A brochure is also available there as a free download.
