    Nice and quiet path, even if some other people are mostly on the way here.

      The route from Viersen-Dülken via Born to Brüggen was opened in 1890. Above all, the railway served to transport goods, also for agriculture: "Potato trains" brought harvest to Mönchengladbach. In 1975 the last trains ran to Brüggen.

        Nice memory of an old railway line.

          The walk in both directions is often used by hikers and cyclists to make a round around Lake Borner or to stroll in Brüggen and eat an ice cream.

            Nice for cycling. Lots of walkers and dogs.
