The Genneperhuis was a castle and fortified fortress on the Niers estuary in the Meuse near the town of Gennep near Milsbeek. Until 2009 there were hardly any ruins, only the crown work and elevations in the landscape still give an impression of the size. The area has the status of a protected monument.

Hiking

The path that takes you to the ruins of the Genneperhuis and through the nature reserve towards bridges, ravelin and Het Theehuisje in Milsbeek is partly provided with pollard willows on both sides. But be sure to read the many information boards that are also on the road over a longer distance and tell you a lot about what is here, has been and especially has happened.
