Avenue towards the border

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful avenue towards the German-Dutch border. Half of the path is paved and the other half is still easy to drive on.

A beautiful landscape, mostly it is difficult for me whether I stay by the river or cross the Elmpter Schwalmbruch.

Juniper heath in the Elmpter Schwalmbruch

Highlight • Natural

The Wacholderheide, in the middle of the Elmpter Schwalmbruch, is a little less frequented, since most drive along the Schwalm and Venekotensee, but it is still a very nice alternative.

Heathland in Schwalmenbruch

Highlight • Natural

For me, the Schwalmenbruch is one of the most beautiful highlights in the Viersen district, perhaps comparable to the Krickenbecker lakes.
A visit is worthwhile at any time of the year, and I especially love the evening mood in August when the heather is in bloom.

At the moment there is no observation tower there, only time can tell whether this is being renewed.
