    Roadbook

    Overview of the junctions:

    26 - 22 - 15 - 21 - 19 - 94 - 93 - 92 - 57 - 31 (NL) - 35 (NL) - 42 (NL) - 55 - 56 - 57 - 34 - 27 - 24 - 26

    Your route starts at the Museum B.C. Koekkoek House, close to the tourist information and Kleve's spacious city center, which invites you to stroll and linger. From there you cycle to Haus Riswick, an educational and experimental institute of the Chamber of Agriculture of North Rhine-Westphalia.

    After a short ride, you reach the Prince Moritz Tomb. Continue towards Goch.

    Near junction 92 and close to the center of Goch is the Graefenthal Estate. The former Cistercian nunnery was founded in 1248 by Count Otto II of Geldern. For cooling off, the Goch Ness leisure pool invites you to extensive water fun. Further along the route, you come to the German-Dutch border.

    You cycle through the Dutch "platteland" before crossing the border again and passing the fire watchtower through the Reichswald recreation area. The heights of the Reichswald are part of the Lower Rhine hill range, which extends over about 60 km between Kamp-Lintfort and Nijmegen.

    After a short ride, you come to the village of Reichswalde. Here you can visit the game reserve at the forester's lodge or the historic British war cemetery.

    At the end of the route, the Collegiate Church and the Schwanenburg line your way. Your route ends at the Museum B.C. Koekkoek, near the city center and tourist information.
