Haltern cycle paths

Welcome to the bike-friendly lakeside town!

You are invited to explore the cycle route network (H 1 - H 6) and get to know our beautiful and scenically varied town, which has already received several awards as a "cycle-friendly town". The circular tours have different lengths, lead in different directions in the city area and can be "experienced" individually by each cyclist.

In addition to wonderful views, the routes offer both challenges and leisurely routes and are suitable for experienced and less experienced cyclists. They are integrated into the NRW cycle route network (red and white signage) and are also signposted in both directions. Access is possible from any location. Look out for the H-route inserts in the red and white signposting.

The description of the tours in the individual maps starts from the cycle station; the direction is merely a recommendation.

Routes hub - Reach your destination with numbers

It's a bit like "painting by numbers" - only by bike. The junction system makes it possible to create individual tours from over 4,500 kilometers of cycle paths in Münsterland, which cycling enthusiasts can follow at will. The junction system provides orientation.

We have put together the four most beautiful tours in and around Haltern am See here.

"Soundgarage by Autohaus Borgmann" in Haltern am See
Music that goes under the bonnet
Haltern on the lake

After a first evening full of energy, the Soundgarage goes into the next round.

Where engines usually take centre stage, music takes over again - in the middle of the Borgmann car dealership.

Between gleaming car bodies and real live sound, an atmosphere is once again created that is not often experienced in this way.

New bands, new moments - but the same vibe that won you over the first time round.

Whether you've already been there or want to catch up now. The Soundgarage remains a place for honest music, closeness and exactly the kind of evenings that stick with you.

Band: Nameless - Nachtkind - Retown

In cooperation with Rockbüro Haltern am See

When the sound of engines falls silent, the music takes over.

In the unique setting of the Borgmann car dealership, you can expect an evening that combines the best of both worlds: gleaming car bodies and rousing live music.

Enjoy an event where horsepower and beats are in harmony and let yourself be carried away by an unforgettable atmosphere. Whether rock, pop or pure passion - at Soundgarage Borgmann, only the perfect sound counts.
