Since ancient times, the areas of the Franconians and Saxons have bordered each other in this region. The "Little Issel" separates the Rhineland from Westphalia, the administrative districts of Düsseldorf and Münster, the districts of Wesel (WES) and Borken (BOR) and thus the cities of Hamminkeln (HAM) and Bocholt (BOH). The border between OT Mussum (prev. rk) and Wertherbruch (prev. ev) also runs here.

Who would have thought that such a small stream had such great historical significance?
The signs show that it is definitely worth getting off your bike every now and then and reading the signs! (Again what learned ;-) )
