Vacation Apartment in Westmünsterland—Cycling, Hiking, or Relaxation—

Cyclists and hikers are very welcome here. Guests who are simply looking for relaxation and a break from everyday life have also come to the right place. The vacation rental is located on the outskirts of Borken in the Gemen neighborhood. Guests greatly appreciate the quiet yet central location. In one direction, you can quickly reach downtown Borken, where you’ll find shopping, restaurants, and sports and cultural activities. The other direction leads straight into the open countryside through fields, meadows, and forests.
The ground-floor apartment has 2 bedrooms, each with a double bed (200x200). There is 1 large living/dining room with a round sofa and dining table, as well as 1 bathroom with a shower, bathtub, sink, and toilet. There is also a separate bathroom with a toilet and sink. 1 kitchen with seating, 1 summer garden with a rattan furniture set—a great place to relax even when the weather isn’t ideal. 1 carport, 1 bike shed. The kitchen is fully furnished and equipped with a dishwasher, electric stove, oven, fridge-freezer, coffee maker, toaster, and electric kettle. Bed linens and towels for the bathroom and kitchen are provided. A crib and a high chair can be provided upon request. All rooms are equipped with electric blackout blinds and radiators for cooler days. The apartment has a main entrance and a separate side entrance from the carport. You can enjoy the sun in the adjacent garden. For shade, you can extend two awnings over the summer garden. A table, chairs, and lounge chairs are available for the garden area. You can park your car for free in the on-site carport. Upon request, you can charge your electric car there using climate-friendly solar power for 49 cents/kWh. Bicycles are stored in the bike shed. E-bike batteries can be charged there for free.
Experience has shown that families with children use the kitchen quite frequently. If you’d like to eat out, we recommend the restaurant at the Alte Bahnhof in Gemen Dorf and Estia, which serves Greek-Mediterranean cuisine in Gemenwirthe. Both of these restaurants are a short distance from the vacation rental.
There’s also a grocery store with a bakery nearby for quick shopping.
If you have something to celebrate, Borken’s dining scene is well-suited for the occasion. Unfortunately, parties and celebrations are not permitted in the vacation rental.
The network of bike paths in the Münsterland region is well-developed. Access to the Borken-Bocholt Aasee Bike Path is right nearby. Bike tours through the Zwillbrocker Venn and Vardingholter Venn nature reserves are very beautiful. Or take a trip to the nearby Netherlands through the Achterhoek region all the way to Winterswijk and Lake Meddo. The castles and fortresses route, starting at the Jugendburg in Gemen, is also a favorite among guests. Hikers will find numerous trails in the Hohe Mark nature reserve, on the Lünsberg/Fliegerberg, and in the Sternbusch. The Pröbsting-See recreational area in Borken, with its many leisure activities, is easily accessible by bike or on foot. There you’ll find a climbing forest, mini-golf, pedal boats, and a large playground. If you’re looking for some fun in the water, the Pröbsting-See swimming beach and the Aquarius leisure and adventure pool in Borken are the places to go.
