Two turtles cast in bronze - one on the Dutch side and one on the German side of the Rimburger Bridge - stand face to face. They symbolize the eternal, the immortal, the peace and the slow steps toward each other, on the border that is no longer visible. Originally they were set up for Euregionale 2009, but stolen in 2011 ... now they are back since 2013!

The border crossing between Germany and the Netherlands, the old bollards were exchanged for 2 beautiful turtle statues. A little further is a nice pub called "op dr eck".

Hiking

The Wurm / Worm flows between Rimburg Castle and the town of Rimburg, which is also the border between Germany and the Netherlands. The bridge that connects the two countries is guarded by a turtle on each side.
