Explore charming towns
Other worthwhile destinations in the region are the quaint villages and charming towns, especially Münster. The 1200-year-old metropolis proves how young old can be with its lively city flair and diverse leisure and shopping facilities. Münster is characterised by its many green spaces, the Aasee lake and, in particular, its historic old town with the cathedral and Prinzipalmarkt. Cobblestones and picturesque half-timbered houses characterise the cityscape. Every evening, except Tuesdays, visitors can hear a special feature in the historic old town: On the church tower of St Lamberti, Germany's only female town tower keeper sounds her horn punctually at 8.30 pm.
