Ehemalige Bahnstrecke Haltern-Wesel-Venlo

The Haltern–Venlo railway was a single-track main line in North Rhine-Westphalia and the Netherlands, originally built and operated by the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (CME) as part of the inter-regional Hamburg-Venlo railway. The line, which is now largely closed and dismantled, branched off the Wanne-Eickel-Hamburg railway line in Haltern and ran via Wesel and Geldern to Venlo.

Here was a stop on the former Haltern-Wesel-Venlo railway line. Now there is a nice break place with information board and 4-5 seats.

There is also something nice to drive and to discover.

A particularly long railway cycle path in the northern radrevier.ruhr, which leads from Wesel to Haltern am See with minor interruptions.

Description of the old railway line parallel to the Lippe, which replaced shipping. Fortunately a wonderful bike path.
