Dinxperloのおすすめランニングルート

a nice piece of forest with an animal meadow.

great fun for kids and a decent path.

A lovely place to relax for young and old. There are water features for children and cafes for adults... and an ice cream parlor for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Great selection for refreshment and a relaxing break in between and there is also something to take home. And currently the milk from Bertha-16 is fresh daily

The “smuggler” and the symbolic customs barrier not only remind you of the old border station, but it's also a good place to take a break and eat ice cream.

Whenever a village is bisected by a national border, there has naturally been a fair amount of smuggling back and forth over the centuries. The artist Jürgen Ebert from Bocholt humorously illustrates how this smuggling operated in Dinxperwick. In the village square in Suderwick, next to a closed barrier, stands a bronze smuggler. He walks away from the border and glances back to see if the customs officer is watching him. His satisfied grin tells you the smuggler thinks his mission has been a success. But in the bag he carries over his shoulder are also two mice. One of them has noticed the smuggler's predicament. The officer is standing a short distance away (in front of the Volksbank), peering into the distance with his binoculars. Fortunately, the officer has his binoculars upside down and doesn't see the smuggler at all. Does this represent the squint customs officers often had for smugglers? We'll never know. Just as we'll never know whether another smuggler on the Dutch side, crossing the border with livestock, was ever "snagged." However the story ends, the three-part sculpture (actually four, including the barrier) gives a good impression of how important smuggling must have been throughout the centuries in the twin villages of Dinxperlo and Suderwick. Until 1992, when the European internal borders opened and the free movement of goods was permitted between the Netherlands and Germany, among others, and thus also between Suderwick and Dinxperlo, smuggling was common on Heelweg/Hellweg, where this sculpture stands. And smugglers were regularly caught by customs and customs officials. The author of this article experienced this firsthand in 1986, when he was serving in the military in Germany and wanted to smuggle duty-free goods through Dinxperlo to the Netherlands. These days, when I cross the border there, I still think: there's that customs officer waiting for me again with his binoculars.

Beautiful border crossing with a rest stop.
