The best MTB trails around Grefrath

This is a cool little trail

It is a very beautiful route. As there are also thorny bushes on the edge of the path from time to time and the trails are probably not ridden very often, I would recommend a long-sleeved shirt and long trousers.

Stunning artworks on the bridge between Venlo and Blerick. "The Watchers" in Venlo warn against aggression, violence, and war. They serve as symbolic guardians of the city of Venlo. After a successful advance through Northern France and Belgium, the Americans of the 30th Infantry, "Old Hickory," succeeded in liberating most of South Limburg. Subsequently, on September 17, 1944, the Allies launched a major offensive (Operation "Market Garden") from Belgium to capture a bridgehead over the major rivers in the Netherlands. Airborne troops were to secure bridges in North Brabant and Gelderland in a lightning-fast attack. From Belgium, ground troops were to advance across the captured bridges to the IJsselmeer. Three complete divisions were dropped: the 101st US Airborne Division at Eindhoven and Veghel, the 82nd US Airborne Division at Grave and Groesbeek, and the 1st British Airborne Division at Arnhem and Oosterbeek. For the Americans, everything went relatively smoothly. The bridges over the Maas River and the Maas-Waal Canal at Heumen and most of the bridges near Eindboven fell into their hands, as did the Waal Bridge at Nijmegen after a fierce battle. But the Rhine Bridge at Arnhem proved too far. The British paratroopers were surprised by German armor and had to withdraw to the Betuwe region with heavy losses.

The lesser-known water tower in Grefrath – apparently not yet listed as a historical monument, otherwise there would be no mobile phone antennas installed there.

The Kovermühle was a watermill with an undershot waterwheel located on the Nette River in the municipality of Wachtendonk. The Kovermühle was owned by the Schaesberg family and was first documented in 1349. It and the Nettmühle below it likely gave their name to the old "Müllem" farming community and the Müllemer Hof farm, which was first mentioned in the 14th century. The mill was operated exclusively as a grain mill with an undershot waterwheel. At the end of 1945, mill operations ceased. The dam and waterwheel were dismantled. After a period of agricultural use, the restored miller's house is now used as a residential building. Source: wikipedia.org
