A place to take a break, right next to the Niers and right in the historic center. Certainly a local highlight. Children can roam around here without worry and experience adventures. Spacious enough to always be able to find some peace and quiet and grab a bite to eat.

Path Along the Niers

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Paths along a stream are always particularly calming. Here you can hike on a narrow path along the Niers and watch the rubber dinghies.

May 30, 2025,Von Wachtendonk entlang der Nette und der Niers

Tour data incorrect, distance 18.6 km, elevation gain < 50 m, duration approx. 4 hours

Scenic, but with a lot of asphalt, the Lower Rhine is more suited to cycling.

February 1, 2026,Niers-Runde von Wachtendonk 🥾🌳🌊🇩🇪

Today I went out with a group for a lovely Sunday hike 😄

Our hike began at a free parking lot in Wachtendonk, and we immediately set off along the Niers River.

The path led us along the riverbank for much of the way, where we could enjoy the tranquil river scenery with its swans and characteristic pollarded willows.

There are some very beautiful passages in between, but a lot of asphalt. A nice tour by bike, but I wouldn't do it on foot again.

February 13, 2022,Burgruine Wachtendonk – Nette+Niers - Runde von Vinkrath

On this beautiful sunny day we went to Wachtendonk.. There is the adventure tour, which is very entertaining and interesting and was part of this hike. But I didn't have this idea alone... It was so crowded everywhere that you could hardly take pictures because of all the people... The round to Vinkrath was very monotonous... Only asphalt, long distances …
