Premiere tour on the Hohe Mark Cycle Route

Naturpark Hohe Mark / DorstenHeiden – tourist, Naturparkleaders, hosts and adfc local groups are invited by the Naturpark Hohe Mark A section of the Hohe Mark Cycle Route – celebrity entertainment included!

 The Hohe Mark Cycle Route is 280 kilometres of cycling with 10 stages, two cross-sections and many jaunts for day trips and short breaks.

The routes and stages lead through shady and colorful forests Heiden, past glittering lakes and magical moors. There are countless insights into the natural and cultural landscape of the Naturpark Hohe Mark – Animal watching included.

Christina Illenseer, project manager of the Hohe Mark Cycle Route, organized a very special event on the route on June 14th, which is also a thank you to all those involved for their active support in the implementation of the project.

“The tour shows everything that the Hohe Mark Cycle Route stands for: a wealth of experiences, varied landscapes, native animals, and well-signposted paths,” says Illenseer.
From Dorsten main station it goes to the Lippe and the Lippeauen, to the Hervester Bruch, on to the Tüshaus Mühle, the Rhader Wiesen and finally to the Kranenmeer in Heiden.
With the best entertainment and the wit of radio presenter Olli Briesch, the 21 participants cycle through a beautiful landscape. Right in the middle: storks, water buffalo and heck cattle. “Great tour with an impressive landscape. Finally I don't have to have a guilty conscience about taking breaks all the time on a bike tour, because there's always something great to admire here!", Olli Briesch says happily.

The entire tour is filled with moments of surprise: Participants are given safety vests with a slogan and small flower vases attached to the bikes.
A food truck with fine dining and local brews for refreshment are available - all regional, of course.

What remains after such an extraordinary day is the memory of a special experience. And that is what awaits everyone who rides a section of the Hohe Mark Cycle Route: the extra track of nature in the middle of Naturpark High mark.
