Along the borders of Gennep

You start at the large roundabout when you enter Gennep from the ring road N271, where you will also see the locomotive. There is also a water tap here.
From here, cycle to the left at the roundabout towards Oeffelt and turn right into the path just before the Maasbrug. Watch out here, because it's a bit narrow.
Continue towards Heijen and onto the Stuwweg along the Maas, where we turn left after a short while, where Afferden (municipality of Bergen) begins. Cross the national road and continue through the Heijense forest until you cross the Beltweg (towards Siebengewald) and enter Germany.
This part is not really spectacular, but it is nice and quiet cycling on beautiful low-traffic roads. You return to the Netherlands (Ven Zelderheide) near the border crossing, where you turn left and a little further on turn right, until you reach an unpaved path (Grensweg). The name says it all, you are actually cycling on the Dutch-German border, with the Reichswald (popularly known as"Pruiswald\\\") on the right. After a while the road surface turns into asphalt and you eventually arrive at the Zwarteweg, with café-rest on the corner. The Deep. Turn left there and after a few hundred meters turn right into a cycle path. On the right you look at the Sint-Jansberg, part of the lateral moraine that was formed in the last ice age. Via Milsbeek you cross the N271 again and you drive along recreational lake De Grote Siep, on the border with Plasmolen (gem. Mook and Middelaar).
Then turn left back to Milsbeek, where you turn right at Theehuisje Milsbeek and follow the cycle path to the Genneperhuis, a former castle. Not much is left of this, but it is a beautiful place due to its location on the Maas. There is also a watchtower and nearby is the point where the Niers flows into the Maas.
From here you cycle smoothly back to Gennep, which you enter through the old city gate. Then via the Markt (with the 400-year-old town hall) and a bit along the ramparts back to the starting point.
