Zwei-Länder-Route

Information

The Niederrhein region and the neighbouring Netherlands not only share the same scenic features but after centuries of joint history have strong cultural bonds as well. Therefore Niederrhein.de does not stop at the border: guests and locals alike are shown beautiful possibilities of combining their stay at the Niederrhein with a visit to the Netherlands, e.g. on a cycle tour. The 2-Country-Route connects Aachen with Nijmegen, a distance of more than 270 kilometres.

On this path cyclists cross the border several times and pass through Geldern, Xanten and Kleve on the Niederrhein as well as Roermond and Venlo in the Netherlands. This route offers another fantastic opportunity to enjoy the Niederrhein region by bicycle and explore picturesque towns such as Brüggen, Nettetal, Kevelaer, Sonsbeck and Kleve. The length of the route and the multitude of sights definitely warrant a cycle tour of several days. Apart from the beautiful Niederrhein towns there is also the diverse scenery of natural grasslands, woods, lakes and rivers to enjoy. Let alone the many restaurants, cafés and beer gardens which Niederrhein.de lists for the 2-Country-Route. They serve “Radler” (a shandy called ‘cyclist’) the delicious seasonal specialities of the Niederrhein region. The list of accommodation facilities recommended by Niederrhein.de for this tour of several days, includes hotels, holiday apartments, youth hostels, farms and guesthouses.
