💡 Tips
- Make sure to rent a bicycle, the flat Münsterland with its 'Pättkes' (bike paths) is good for this.
- The park around the St. Josef-Stift is also open to non-patients and beautifully landscaped for relaxing walks.
- If you want to shop on the weekend, keep in mind that in the smaller towns of the Münsterland, many shops close on Saturday afternoons.
- Use the regional buses for trips to Münster to save yourself the tedious search for a parking space in the big city.
- When cycling, pay attention to the farm tracks often used for agriculture; tractors have priority here.
