View of the Niers River and Niershorst Airfield

Highlight • Viewpoint

When the weather is nice, equipped with a picnic basket, watch the flight operations from Niershorst on Niersdamm. Every now and then the paddlers from the Niers say hello. Like holiday.

With a decent wind and some dark clouds (but no rain!) we cycled on the railway line to Kaldenkirchen. The route is pleasant to drive, but only moderately varied. But true to the motto "The goal is the way" the reward came in the nice Hofcafe Alt Bruch (thanks for the tip, Theo Beijers!).
