A piece of history slowly being returned to nature: the abandoned Iron Rhine railway line winds through the De Meinweg forest. Old rail bridges and embankments are overgrown with moss, ferns, and shrubs, creating a special atmosphere of transience and silence. The path offers a unique combination of history and nature, with birds and small woodland creatures living among the remains of the track.
