Assinghausen, a certified rose village in North Rhine-Westphalia since 2007, presents itself under the motto "One village - one big garden". More than 150 varieties of roses adorn public grounds and private gardens here, set against a picturesque backdrop of historic half-timbered houses. The four Rosenwege offer structured tours to explore this floral splendor.
The "Heidetraum" trail (1.8 km), the longest of the routes, reveals the morphological and design features of the site from different angles. The "Maria Lisa" trail (1 km) illustrates the grace of the rose along specific points such as the ice cellar, with rose names such as "Polar Sun" and "Polar Ice" referring to the robust nature of the plants. The "Flammentanz" trail (0.6 km) leads through alleyways characterized by historic half-timbered buildings and a particular density of rose plantings. Finally, the "Rosa Sancta" trail (1.1 km), named after the Holy Rose, leads to religious sites such as the Küsterlandkapelle, the Ölberg and Mariengrotte grottoes and the church of St. Katharina, complemented by the monastery garden and the romantic garden at the granary.
