Cycle to the Verlar stork farm

The starting point is Lippstadt town hall. From here, the tour leads through the parks of the Grüner Winkel to the first stop at the Blankenburg monument at the main cemetery. The tour continues through Bellevue, along the banks of the Lippe to Niederdedinghausen. Passing typical Westphalian farmhouses and the Alberssee lake, the route leads to Mettinghausen and from there through meadows and fields to the next stop at the new bridge in Rebbeke. The destination of the cycle tour is the Storchenhof in Verlar. This was built in 2008 by Karl-Georg Behlau as a breeding and observation station for storks. A 30-minute guided tour of the stork farm awaits you on site. Afterwards, participants cycle via Mantinghausen and the old mill path to the Dicken Kiefer home. On the Delbrücker Weg, past the popular Lippstadt lake district, the group of cyclists reaches Lipperode. A stop for refreshments is possible at the Dorfalm there before the group reaches the starting point.
