Lippe River at Lünen-Lippholthausen

Highlight • River

Here the cycle path leads over the Lippe. From the bridge you have a good view of the Lippeauen and also of the Lippewerk.

Alstedde Forest Path

Highlight • Trail

A wide and easy to ride forest floor and gravel mix. From my point of view not a trail but a very nice route for pedestrians and cyclists. There are other options for onward travel.

View of the Lippeaue Nature Reserve (Lünen to Schleuse Horst)

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

From the dam above the Lippeauen you have a magnificent view over the renatured meadows. Shaggy Scottish highland cattle provide a natural landscape care throughout the year.

Confluence of the Seseke and the Lippe

Highlight • River

Cycling on the Seseke

A lot has changed at the Seseke in recent years. A new path by the water is evidence of this change. From Bönen to Lünen, the LIPPEVERBAND has created the Seseke-Weg foot and cycle path, which invites you to explore the charming landscape around and by the river.

View of the old harbor crane in Lünen

Highlight • Monument

The Preußenhafen (Prussia Port) is a port built in 1924/1925 and put into operation in the autumn of 1925. It is located on the Datteln-Hamm Canal (canal km 14.16 – 14.34) in Lünen-Süd (Horstmar district).

Originally, it served as a transshipment point for the Preußen coal mine in Lünen and the Gneisenau coal mine in Dortmund-Derne. Its heyday as a coal transshipment point began in 1925, and in the mid-1960s, the port was expanded to its current dimensions. From the late 1980s onward, it declined in importance due to the closure of the coal mines. The former colliery railway line is now the "Gneisenau Trail," a cycle and hiking path that leads past the Preußen spoil heap on the other side of the railway line and on to Derne.[1]

[1] Today it is intensively used for tourism due to its proximity to the Lünen lake park and the Horstmarer See lake, for motor and leisure boats and as a water hiking rest area, as well as a landing stage for the passenger ship "Santa Monika" and as a museum.
