By bike through Bielefeld's quiet natural treasures

This nature-based bike tour leads along Ems-Lutter and Lichtebach in the southern part of Bielefeld, combining movement, landscape experience, and well-founded knowledge about biotopes, bodies of water, and biodiversity. In cooperation with ADFC, the tour offers a special view of conservation gems that often remain hidden in everyday life.

On the way between waterways, meadows, and biotope axes

Along the approximately 25-kilometer route, a vivid picture of Bielefeld's cultural landscape unfolds. The route follows nature-friendly sections but also touches on paths that are not completely paved. This creates an authentic discovery experience that makes the character of the landscape directly tangible. Dietmar Althaus from the Environmental Office explains the importance of biotope connectivity axes in southwestern Bielefeld and describes which ecological treasures have been preserved or further developed at Lichtebach and Lutter.

Expert knowledge and local history to touch

The tour combines nature observation with local conservation knowledge. Hof Ramsbrock itself stands as a climate and environmental education center for environmental pedagogy, biodiversity, and sustainable landscape maintenance. This location makes the tour a cultural enrichment for all who want to experience Bielefeld not just as a city but as a developed natural landscape. The route shows how closely leisure, landscape protection, and local history are intertwined.

Practical tips for a relaxed participation

The total distance is about 25 kilometers, with the pure tour duration being around 4 hours. A picnic is to be brought along, making the break in nature a unique experience. The event is suitable for participants with normal cycling experience; no special fitness requirements exist. Since not only paved paths will be used, a roadworthy bicycle and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended.

Meeting point and orientation

The starting point is the parking lot directly on Osnabrücker Straße near the Brackwede swimming pool, in the vicinity of Hof Ramsbrock. Arrival is also possible by public transport; the Vormbrock stop is within walking distance of the Hof. On-site access is designed to be barrier-free, though the exact routing remains dependent on individual mobility.

Conclusion

Those who want to get to know Bielefeld's green side intensively will experience a knowledgeable city and nature tour with clear added value: movement, knowledge, landscape, and regional identity intertwine. This tour offers a true discovery experience for cycling enthusiasts, nature lovers, and anyone wanting to explore Bielefeld from its quiet, diverse side. Secure your spot now and experience the natural gems in southern Bielefeld live.
