Riding

Borken, in West Münsterland, is a real equestrians' town, which is known throughout Germany and overseas.
The Borken brothers Marcus and Johannes Ehning, have chalked up many successes in competitions at home and abroad. At the Olympic Games in Sydney, Marcus won Team Gold with the national show jumping team Springreiter Equipe 2000.
Ulrich Kirchhoff, who also started his competition life with Borken's Riding Association, won both Team Gold and an individual Gold Medal for show jumping at  the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996. Christopher Lensing, also from Borken, won many competitions in equestrian vaulting, at both world and European championship levels during a period from 1988 to 1996. Next to show jumping, dressage and vaulting, there are also many other equestrian events to visit in Borken right through out the year. These include horse driving trials, draught horse racing and much more.

Glider flying and hot air balloon trips

For some years now, Borken has also been know as the 'glider pilot's town'. The tradition surrounding this aeronautical past time, stretches back to the days when teams of men would haul the gliders to the launch point by hand. The local flying club, the Luftsportverein Borken e.V., was founded in 1924 and until 1972, was based on the so-called 'Flying Hill' (Fliegerberg), located on the Dülmener Weg (Dulmener Way). It was necessary to move the flying club to its present location at Borken-Hoxfeld, due to the expansion of the military practice ground around Lünsberg. In 1975, the newly relocated flying club became operational again.

The flying club has five motorised aircraft, three of which are tow-planes. There are births for around thirty aeroplanes. The grass runway is 960 x 152 meters in size and is used by many different flying clubs. The Hot air balloon club is also resident at Hoxfeld.

Pröbsting Park

The Pröbsting Park has been developed in recent years and is situated in the part of town known as Hoxfeld, on the far side of the B67. The park consists of over 1.2 million square meters of woodland, water, grassland and fields and offers all kinds of possibilities for visitors looking to recharge their batteries. As well as the many cycle paths, foot paths and hiking trails, you'll find a mini-golf course and a children's' playground. There is also a 100,000 m² large, man-made lake with boat moorings and a bathing area. Sailing, surfing, boat rides, fishing and swimming are all possible. The lake is manned with life guards from the DLRG during the summer (weekends) and on bank holidays.

The boat hire shop has 8 canoes, 8 rowing boats and 27 pedaloes to rent. At the kiosk next door, you can borrow safety equipment. Next to the park there is also a camp site and youth tent ground.

In the summer, our 7500 m²  lounging area allows visitors to play and sunbathe. And what can be more satisfying, than enjoying a refreshing ice cream, whilst soaking up the hot sun on our sun terrace? Alright then... Aquarius here we come!
