The Peace Route is a 170 km long cycle path between Münster and Osnabrück .
The cycle path goes back to the historical communication link established between Münster and Osnabrück during the peace negotiations at the end of the Thirty Years' War . The so-called “Friedensreiter” were on the way on this imperial post line, via which messages and dispatches were exchanged between the two cities. The negotiations ultimately led to the Peace of Westphalia of 1648.
The starting and end points of the route are the historic Münster City Hall and Osnabrück City Hall . The cycle path leads through the foothills of the Teutoburg Forest , the Tecklenburger Land and the Münsterland park landscape .
In both Münsterland and Osnabrücker Land , uniform signage simplifies orientation. The route can also be used as a circular route between Bad Iburg and Münster. Among other things, it also leads through the places Greven , Tecklenburg , Lienen and Telgte . The peace route was chosen as the cycle route of the year 2008 in North Rhine-Westphalia .
