Former Borken–Winterswijk Railway Path

The old railway line from Borken to Winterswijk used to be located here.
Excerpt from the website of the Burlo local association:

1880 - The Winterswijk - Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck railway line opens. The route led over the Borkenwirther area from north (Dutch border) to south (Gemenwirthe). The route was closed to cross-border passenger traffic with the outbreak of the Second World War.

1898 - Burlo gets its own train station, which had national importance until 1914. The trains and wagons stopped here on their journey between Gelsenkirchen and Amsterdam before the connection was completely shut down in 1996

A beautiful path through the forest on the border. Great to ride 🚲. In some places you can even still see the old railway line

There are now so many old railway lines that have been converted into cycle paths. It's a great thing.
