• Day 2 - City tour and museums - Münster Castle - Canoe trip on the Werse CITY TOUR AND MUSEUMS: After breakfast, we will go on foot and/or by bike in search of traces in the old town to the famous Prinzipalmarkt: here, in the arcades, people traditionally stroll, shop and show off. Already in the Middle Ages and in Hanseatic times, it was the heart of the city, where merchants displayed power and wealth with elaborately designed gabled houses, counting houses and arcades. The 14th-century town hall is a historical must-see, as it was here in the Peace Hall that the Peace of Westphalia was declared in 1648. Guided tours take place by appointment. True medieval masterpieces and landmarks of Münster are St Paul's Cathedral with its astronomical clock, whose carillon chimes daily at 12 noon. On Wednesdays and Saturdays it's market day on Domplatz with typical Westphalian delicacies - and the modern LWL Museum displays art from the Middle Ages to the modern age.
  
  MÜNSTER CASTLE: The nearby baroque Münster Castle is home to the university, whose committed climate protection project "Ecosystem Tree" was built in the castle garden as a tree experience trail. Visitors are sensitised here to the topics of environmental protection, biodiversity and sustainability. The Botanical Garden has been a relaxing green oasis in the city since 1803 and is also part of the palace grounds. Admission is free of charge.
  
  CANOEING TOUR ON THE WERSE: In the afternoon, we set off on a leisurely canoe tour on the Werse or, alternatively, on an 8-kilometre bicycle tour in Münster's village district of Wolbeck, which welcomes us with the charm of the Münsterland and beautifully restored rural buildings. The old Drostenhof manor house is home to the West Prussian State Museum.
