Location: Selfkant, Heinsberg, Cologne District, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
The Selfkant is the westernmost point of Germany you should really explore, preferably by bike.
Selfkant belongs to the so-called Zipfel places.
In the west the Selkant
In the north List on Sylt
In the east Görlitz in Saxony
In the south Obersdorf in the Allgäu Alps
By the way, if you visit all 4 Zipfel locations within 4 years, you will receive a typical gift from the 4 municipalities.
Even so, Germany can be explored on a great white.
