2-country route, distance 0 km

This cycle route near the border starts in the old imperial city of Aachen and after 275 km reaches Nijmegen, the oldest city in the Netherlands. Along the route, the cultural heritage of the two neighbouring countries comes to light.

Way of St. James, distance 0 km

In 1987, the European Council called for a revival of the Way of St. James. The centuries-old and partly already forgotten European network of the Way of St. James thus moved more into the focus of institutions, governments and associations. The regional route via Kevelaer in the direction of Santiago de Compostela leads through the centre of Walbeck. A stele was erected at the Walbeck court garden (distance 0.05 km) in 2005.

Fossa route, distance 0.05 km

The Fossa Eugeniana, a canal between the Meuse and the Rhine dating from 1626 and never completed by the Spaniards, is the central theme of this cycle route through the municipalities of Arcen and Velden in Holland and Geldern, Walbeck and Straelen on the German side. You cycle through varied landscapes and (along historic ones) past romantic castles, farms and mills. The route has a length of about 80 kilometres, but can also be ridden in two sections of 35 km and 45 km.
