Rundwanderweg B3: Freund/Vennbahn

Versatile hiking excursion in North Rhine-Westphalia. This beautiful route leads into the Indetal nature reserve and the Brander Wald forest. The start is near Brand railroad station. You first walk in an easterly direction past the KAB meeting place in Brand and then head north-east into the beautiful Indetal nature reserve. The mills in the valley and the Komeriche Mühle mill, which are located some distance along the trail, are well worth seeing. The Brander Wald forest delights with its good paths and fresh, spicy air in a healthy green. On the way back, you will come across the well-known Vennbahnweg, a former railroad line, in the Brand industrial park. Where the Vennbahn used to run here, a cross-border long-distance cycle path has been created between Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg. You cycle back to the starting point on this trail. Accessible by bus and train. There are places to stop for refreshments in the surrounding area.
