Loop
This extensive loop explores the picturesque border region of the Lippe, Issel and Rhine rivers. The route leads through the flat, green landscape of the Lower Rhine and connects historic towns such as Wesel and Rees. It passes Renaissance moated castles such as Raesfeld Castle and tranquil wetlands that serve as important bird sanctuaries. The route follows well-maintained forest paths and paved trails with hardly any gradients worth mentioning. Historically, this region was an important trading center, which is reflected in the old Hanseatic architecture and the historic river crossings. The journey requires a high level of physical endurance due to the overall distance, but remains technically accessible for all levels of experience.
