From the late-Gothic Ludgeri Church to the arcaded charm of Prinzipalmarkt, Münster’s old town reveals its deep religious and cultural roots. I stop for traditional German fare at the renowned Stuhlmacher restaurant, take in the bicycle-friendly streets and end my walk at the hauntingly beautiful Lamberti Church.

Join me today for a very short trip to Müster, Germany, where I just have an hour or two to take in a few sites before moving on. I’m walking now through the city’s main shopping streets. It’s here I come across the first church of my visit, Lutguri Church, a striking late Gothic building with twin towers. It’s one of Müster’s oldest, dating back to the 12th century. Müster has no shortage of churches, over 30 in fact, reflecting its long-standing role as a religious center in West Failure. By the way, all the music on this channel is my own.

Next, I reached the principal market, the heart of the old town with its iconic arcaded buildings and the townhouse rising in the distance. As you can see, lots of bikes. Müster is famously bicycle friendly with more bikes than people. This traditional sign, which translates to monster advertiser, caught my eye. It has that classic guildlike feel that fits perfectly in this medieval setting. Here’s Stolmaka. Please forgive my pronunciation. A well-known restaurant on the square. It’s been serving locals and visitors since 1890 and has a reputation for hearty traditional fair. Although I’m told it’s not strictly Westfallian, I’ve opted for sausages seasoned with margarm, served with sauerkraut and washed down with cold beer. Classic German comfort food. And of course, a cold schnaps to round things off. On the way back to the station, we pass Lamberti Church, known for its beautiful Gothic architecture and the three iron cages suspended from its tower, once used to display the bodies of executed Anabaptist leaders. Nice. And with that, I’m back at Müster West Banhoff, ready to continue my journey.
