Borken - City, Country, River

There are many attractive waypoints to discover on this tour, such as the Marbeck Home House and the listed railway station. The nature reserve "Die Berge" offers a picturesque hilly landscape with charming views and the Gemen castle landscape with the Sternbusch forest park is also a special highlight. The district of Weseke has special features to offer in the Quellengrundpark around the Heimathaus and a worthwhile detour is a perennial garden near the Bockwindmühle. In the north-west of Borken - directly on the Dutch border - is Burlo with its monastery and Heimathaus. Passing the Klostersee lake and through farming communities, you finally reach the PröbstingSee recreational area with a climbing forest, boating, swimming, playing and relaxing on the "BelleVue" platform. One of the most beautiful parts of this tour are the river meadows and landscapes on the way back to the cosy Borken city centre.
