A route that takes you through the forest and to Groesbeek, the wine region of the Netherlands.
With over 5,100 hectares, the Reichswald is the largest contiguous forest area in the Lower Rhine region. It is not only a recreational area but also home to many species of animals and plants as well as the region’s drinking water reservoir. Welcome to Groesbeek, with the largest wine-growing area in the Netherlands. Here, seven wineries share about 10 hectares of land. It is not called the "Tuscany of the Netherlands" for nothing.
