Rodelberg and Wedding Forest, Bocholt City Forest

Highlight • Forest

The toboggan hill belongs to the extended part of the city forest. In winter, when there is snow, children populate it to go sledding there.

Here you can also find the wedding forest, in which Bocholters who are celebrating a marriage or other anniversary can plant a tree. It is located in the north-west direction of the toboggan hill. There is a sign on the large bridge near the pond. At the edge of the wedding forest there is a weatherproof wooden panel on which the name tags of the couples who have donated a tree are attached.

Stadtwaldlager Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

During the Second World War, the city forest camp set up by the Austrian Legion in 1935 on Wiener Allee was used to accommodate prisoners of war of various origins. After years of litigation, the city of Bocholt succeeded in buying the now demolished barracks town in 1985 to expand the Stadtwald leisure facility. The city of Bocholt recognized the need to take responsibility for dealing with this historical place. A memorial was supposed to remember the history of the camp and serve as a reminder to take decisive action against today's injustice.

Deer and Goats at Stadtwald Bocholt

Highlight • Natural

The goats on site are very affectionate but may only be fed with carrots or bread, please heed this tip for the animals, as they cannot tolerate pasta, for example, and can become ill or die from it.

Former Railway Line to Winterswijk

Highlight • Cycleway

The Winterswijk - Bocholt railway line is a former cross-border railway line between the Dutch province of Gelderland and the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The approximately 17-kilometer branch line was one of three routes operated by the Dutch-Westphalian Railway Company (Dutch: Nederlandsch Westfaalsche Spoorweg Maatschappij, or NWE / NWSM for short). The line, opened in 1880, was gradually shut down between 1931 and 1989 and is now completely dismantled.
