    Tips

    The Kerkstieg (Church = church / Stieg = path over hills) had been forgotten for a long time. It is said in chronicles that the parishes of Undeloh and Hanstedt were once merged. For the people of Wesel, this meant that they had to go to the Hanstedt St. Jakobi Church for the service.
    The small Kerkstieg was forgotten after the advent of bicycles, as it is not suitable for two-wheelers. But after the Kerkstieg appeared in a home band, the path experienced a comeback.

      The Kerkstieg offers hikers beautiful, narrow paths. From Hanstedt to Wesel, the route is more downhill than uphill.
