The stream that has to be crossed separates the Netherlands from Germany. The children will certainly have fun on many different climbing elements. Today it was a pleasure for us to hike along a border where there is no war to be feared.

Hiking

An absolute recommendation, especially with smaller children. Here you can climb and balance at many stations. You can therefore spend some time on the almost 3km long path.

But I also found it very interesting for adults if you are interested in the history of the border region and the smuggling there.

Another great recommendation is the Pannekoekenhuis on the Dutch side.
