Former Borken–Winterswijk Railway Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The old railway line from Borken to Winterswijk used to be located here.
Excerpt from the website of the Burlo local association:

1880 - The Winterswijk - Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck railway line opens. The route led over the Borkenwirther area from north (Dutch border) to south (Gemenwirthe). The route was closed to cross-border passenger traffic with the outbreak of the Second World War.

1898 - Burlo gets its own train station, which had national importance until 1914. The trains and wagons stopped here on their journey between Gelsenkirchen and Amsterdam before the connection was completely shut down in 1996

Keizersbeek Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Lovely narrow gravel path / single track cycle path, suitable for all types of bicycles.
I was here in February and had the whole trail to myself... but I imagine this is a popular and therefore busy trail on weekends, especially when the weather is nice. Maybe take this into account if you are more focused on speed and skip the path.

Escaped from the hustle and bustle of the family weekend to gravel. Varied route through the Achterhoek coulisse landscape with lots of unpaved, from bits of loose sand to Strade Bianche-like quality (my favorite). I had chosen the route (nice and fast!) from the suggested routes of the Komoot planner and that was very good.
