"...And then we discover the trail's namesake: the castle ruins of Wachtendonk. It was mentioned in a document as early as 1326 as the property of the Lords of Wachtendonk. In 1603, however, Wachtendonk Castle was so badly damaged that today only the partially walled-up foundation remains can be seen For children they are a wonderful place for their adventurous play..."
