イッセルブルクのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Engbergen is a beautiful recreation area. Here you can hike on well-maintained paths or stroll along narrow trails between fields and meadows. It's a wooded and heathland area with wetlands and artificially created biotopes. For example, Recreatie 't Lohr, located at Lohrpad 2 in Voorst, offers accommodation directly adjacent to the recreation area. It's designed for group outings for team building or for school groups.

A beautiful route, also suitable for hiking. Since there is only one resident on this street, it's a pleasant place for cycling or walking. The street is a dead end for cars and leads into the Landfortseweg, which loops around Haus Landfort.

The ice cellar is the foundation of a former defensive tower of the city fortifications dating back to the 16th century. The defensive tower was demolished in the 19th century, and only then was the new entrance, as we know it today, built and intended to serve as an ice cellar. It is not known that it ever stored ice. TOWN FORTIFICATION: In 1349, Dietrich II of Zuylen (Zuilen/Sulen) and of Anholt granted the inhabitants town charter. This also included the right, or rather the obligation, to surround the settlement with a wall, rampart, and ditch. For this purpose, approximately 5,000 m³ of earthwork was carried out. Around the middle of the 15th century, the old fortifications were reinforced and expanded. The rampart was raised and widened, the ditch was deepened and expanded into a moat, and the city wall was provided with turrets and loopholes. At the same time, the city gates toward Isselburg at the market (called the Kerkpoort) and Vehlingen (called the Clev'se Poort) were reinforced. A keep was built at the weakest point of the fortifications (in the north), directly next to the parish church. Below it is the "ice cellar," which served as the foundation. Some rumors claim there was a secret passage from the castle to the ice cellar/defensive tower. However, there is no evidence for this.

Don't be surprised if you suddenly see a golf ball flying through the air!

An inconspicuous border crossing...that's how Europe works...🇪🇺

The windmill is apparently privately owned, and you can't simply walk onto the property. Also, at the time of our visit, the mill was probably being restored, as there were no wings left. (Or there are simply no wings left)

Path near the church to the old city moat!
