"... The Berkel rises on the western slopes of the Baumberge in the area of the town of Billerbeck. The course of the river runs westwards via Coesfeld, Gescher and Stadtlohn to Vreden and from there on over the German-Dutch border via Eibergen, Borculo and Lochem and Almen to Zutphen, where the Berkel flows into the IJssel after its route of approx. 114 km. The Berkel was navigable from Coesfeld until 1774, in order to transport sandstone from the tree mountains, among other things. ... "

Hiking

The area just outside of Coesfeld is very nicely laid out and offers pure relaxation. There is also a bench right on the bank.
