    Wide meadows and green forests. Explore the nature around the pilgrimage town Kevelaer. The route takes you along the Niers hiking trail for a while before heading cross-country to Kervenheim. Here, a visit to the castle with its beautiful garden is worthwhile. Then continue through meadows and forests to Winnekendonk. Along the way, you pass several farm shops. Past the small river Fleuth by Winnekendonk, the route continues to Wetten. In Wetten, you pass the small, cozy marketplace and then return to nature.

    The return route to Kevelaer leads again through green meadows and wide plains. The destination of the route is Roermonder Platz. Here lies the restaurant Alt Derp, where you can enjoy something delicious to eat and drink and enjoy the view of the lively square as a finale.

    Author’s recommendation

    Just before Winnekendonk, you pass the Biohof Etzold. Fresh organic products are always available here.
