Loop
This scenic border trail guides visitors through the wooded landscape of Nationaal Park De Meinweg, following the winding course of the Roode Beek along the border between the Netherlands and Germany. The route meanders through quiet forests, across unique terraced landscapes, and past historical sites such as the ancient Dalheimer Mühle watermill. Wooden boardwalks carry hikers across marshy valley floors where iron-rich waters shape the stream's distinct reddish tint. The peaceful woodland tracks provide a tranquil journey among native trees and quiet stream valleys.
