The Niers Hiking Trail starts in Kevelaer and runs mostly directly along the Niers river almost to the Dutch border.
We leave the parking lot at the ferry dock in Weeze, pass the playground and sports facilities (black and white diamond), notice a sign pointing to an honorary cemetery, and after a ways reach the confluence of the Kervenheimer Mühlenbach near a wayside shrine. In a right curve, we approach the road, keep left and pass a wooden cross. Then we approach the Niers river and go under the A57 motorway. From here, our path runs partly just above the water level of the Niers, so there is occasional risk of flooding. After just under half an hour, we arrive at a ferry landing with a cross ferry and refreshment option. This is Jan an de Fähr, a well-known inn. Along the way, there is an option to go under the bridge of the country road and then turn right to walk along the L77. However, the underpass is very low and the path can be quite swampy. Alternatively, we can take the path that leads away from the Niers ferry and then cross the country road while keeping left. Both paths meet again
