Bridge over the Rodebach

Highlight • Bridge

In any case, you should pay a visit to the cattle. The hike over the large Huteweide is fun and the experience of encountering animals without a fence in between is definitely worth it.

The Etzenrather mill takes its name from the nearby village of Etzenrade, which is now a Dutch village. The first mention comes from a description of the border on the occasion of a strange accident in 1492.

Sunny autumn walk done in Gangelt (D).
Komoot acted weird, recorded the tour differently than we walked
The last photo is the correct route via strava
First part was very beautiful through the Schinveldse woods, the last part regularly along bicycle paths, once back in the woods, very beautiful
