Winterswijk, Meddo and Corle

Beautiful avenues, plots that are separated in a natural way, wooded banks, here and there some small forests, interspersed with beautiful raised moor areas: around Winterswijk you cycle through a fairytale-like environment. National Landscape Winterswijk is about 22,000 hectares and mainly consists of beautiful semi-open areas with alternating small plots and large ash trees. Many different lovely pieces of nature and characteristically cultivated landscapes alternate. Picturesque towns and green villages radiate a natural tranquility, with the city of Winterswijk as the beating heart. But the large open quarry at Ratum is also special, because geological deposits from the Tertiary were found here that were relatively close to the surface. Here the history is still tangible! You will see an old mill during the trip through the National Landscape. This underslung water mill called Berenschot, which was built in 1749. The unique facade of this flour mill was executed in Art Deco in the 1920s and it is the only mill with this striking architectural style. The mill was completely restored in 1985 and made ready to grind. In 2013, the mill grinds grain on a voluntary basis and viewing is possible by appointment. The mill also houses a restaurant where you can eat well.
