イッセルブルクでののおすすめグラベルライド

Beautiful gravel path, straight along the water. It's almost always in good condition.

The footpath/cycle path runs along the Bocholter Aa river. Long stretches are shaded by trees and bushes.

VOORST GRAIN MILL In 1866, Willem Stapelbroek had a grain mill built near his farm, "Klein Immink." His son, Bernard, was the first miller. In 1899, Johannes Hermanus (Jannus) van Hal took over the mill and married Stapelbroek's heiress that same year. The mill was severely damaged in the war in 1945 and subsequently shut down. Milling continued in the adjacent barn using electrically powered millstones. After the now dilapidated mill was further damaged by a lightning strike in the 1950s, the cap and sails were removed for safety reasons. Following the establishment of the "Grain Mill Voorst" Foundation in 1999, the first steps toward restoring the mill were taken. On November 27, 2010, the restored mill was officially reopened by Trees van Hal-Knaven and Bertus van Hal, the great-grandson of Willem Stapelbroek.

The brand became famous for its "half chickens," introduced in the early 1950s by Riek and Frans van Hal, of which more than 1 million have now been sold. A large bronze rooster sculpture stands as a symbol next to the entrance.

This beautiful wooden arched bridge connects Gendringen/NL with Voorst/NL and its lovely heathland. North of the bridge, the river is called the "Oude IJssel" and belongs to the Netherlands, while to the south, the same river is called the "Issel." South of the bridge, the border runs down the middle of the river (W=NL and O=DE). The pedestrian and cycle path is on the Dutch side.

Nice walking trail. It's a shame cyclists are allowed here too.

Rewarding path along the river

The cycle path is fantastically beautiful and the view is fantastic 👍

A beautiful bike and pedestrian path along the Aa River between Isselburger Straße and the cinema on Meckenemstraße provides easy access to the city center without car traffic.
