ADFC Lemgo and Detmold cycle: To the 23rd Paderborn Bicycle Day

The Paderborn Bicycle Day in the baroque garden of Schloss Neuhaus is a must for many people as the start of the cycling season: a varied program informs and entertains on the topics of bicycles and cycling.
Specialist and accessory dealers provide useful information.
A colourful entertainment program ensures a great atmosphere for young and old.
Food and drink are also well catered for: visitors to the Bicycle Day can relax in a cozy beer garden with a barbecue on the banks of the Lippe or with waffles, coffee and other delicacies.

From Detmold train station, we take the familiar route via Berlebeck and Fromhausen to Horn and on towards Veldrom. We ride past the tractor museum in Kempen through the remote valley of the Durbeke ( = dry Beke) towards Neuenbeken and enjoy the view of the small viaduct near Neuenbeken. Passing numerous wind turbines, we reach Paderborn city center via Benhausen. During a final break, there is time for a short visit to the impressive Paderborn Cathedral. (There is also a bust of John Paul II here). Here we are already in the area of the 200 springs of Germany's shortest river, which we take a look at before following the Pader to its confluence with the Lippe directly at Neuhaus Castle, the location of the Paderborn Cycling Day.
At Neuhaus Castle we stop for 1.5 hours for refreshments and to see the sights of the 23rd Paderborn Cycling Day.

The return journey begins away from the main roads on the Senner cycle path towards Hövelhof. After a final break for refreshments, we cycle past the Senneseen lakes through the beautiful Furlbachtal valley to Augustdorf. We cross the Teuto and cycle from Pivitsheide on the old railroad embankment back to Detmold.
The tour requires sufficient fitness with a length of approx. 89 km and 580 meters in altitude. You will cycle at a medium pace.
Note: During the CITY CYCLING from 18.05.2025 to 07.06.2025, all ADFC Lippe e.V. tours are free of charge.
