Discover Sendenhorst: Water, Cycling Routes and Culture
Accommodation in Sendenhorst
Sendenhorst can be discovered through a variety of experiences: at Werse Beach, golden sand meets a small island; there are also cycling routes, an observation tower and a signposted art trail. When looking for accommodation, you can consider which of these aspects you would like to shape your stay: cycling, time by the water or culture in town.
Water and views
At Werse Beach, the golden sandy beach invites you to linger. Stepping stones lead to the small island; nearby, there is a shelter with tables and benches. The Werse Canal at Werse Beach also includes a small island that provides a habitat for fish and small aquatic organisms. The beach, access to the island and seating areas each add a different dimension to your time by the water.
The observation tower in Himmelreich offers a different perspective on the landscape. Its viewing platform is 11.47 metres high, with views across Sendenhorst and the MĂĽnsterland parkland.
Cycling routes as a focus for the day
Werse Beach is directly connected to the cycling network, and the 100 Castles Route passes by. The Werse Cycle Route also includes Sendenhorst: it runs for 123 kilometres through the southern part of the Warendorf district. Along the route, there are 34 information panels and regularly spaced rest areas with tables and benches. Route planning thus combines a specific stop at Werse Beach with a longer regional route and designated places to rest.
The town administration lends up to two Gazelle e-bikes to visitors and local residents. If you are considering hiring a bike for your trip, check availability before you travel.
Art, culture and a break in the green
The signposted Bernhard Kleinhans Trail leads to 21 works at eight stops in Sendenhorst. It offers a distinctive way to discover the town through artworks and a marked route. Haus SIEKMANN adds concerts, cabaret, theatre, readings, children’s cinema and talks to the cultural programme. The grounds of Haus SIEKMANN are also open to the public.
Hof Schmetkamp is a good choice if you are looking for a shady spot for a picnic and some relaxation. Together with Werse Beach and the views from the tower, it offers a range of options that leave room for quieter moments as well as active pursuits.
Which accommodation suits your plans?
If cycling is your priority, the connections from Werse Beach and the route of the Werse Cycle Route are good starting points. If you would like to include art and culture, you can add the Bernhard Kleinhans Trail and the programme at Haus SIEKMANN. Werse Beach, the observation tower and Hof Schmetkamp offer other ways to enjoy the water, landscape and relaxation. This makes it easy to assess Sendenhorst according to the experiences you would like to include in your stay.
