Hire a Fun2Go bike
Cycling is normal for many people without disabilities. Why not also for people with disabilities? The senior citizens’ council of the town of Gronau has responded positively to this question and purchased a “Fun2Go” bike, a therapeutic electric parallel tandem, with financial support from Sparkasse Westmünsterland and the Gronau Community Foundation.
This bike makes it possible for a passenger with a handicap not only to ride along, but also to actively participate – depending on the type of handicap.

The node system
The hub network, known from the Netherlands and Belgium, enables flexible route planning in the Münsterland region – even across state and district borders. The district of Borken is the first Münsterland district to open the node system, and Gronau also already has several nodes.
The popular themed routes such as the “100 Castles Route”, the “Hohe Mark Cycle Route” or the “Flamingo Route” as well as the routes of the “River Landscapes” are integrated into the network of junctions and additionally marked on the signposts by route pictograms.
The G-Mobile
The practical alternative to buses and cabs: the G-Mobil. The G-Mobil stops at over 130 stations throughout the city. You can book this at any time and 7 days in advance by phone or app. The prices of the WestfalenTarif apply. Payment is made in the app (Paypal, credit card, direct debit) or cash in the car.
The app (RVM On Demand) is now available in the app store.
