137311 Castle route around Tegelen

Explore the part of the Netherlands near Venlo, close to the German border. Tegelen, a district of the municipality of Venlo, is mainly known for the clay that has been extracted here for centuries for the ceramic industry. Many fossil remains have been found in this clay, including beavers, water moles, hyenas, panthers and even rhinos and hippos. Clay has also played an important role in Belfeld's history: in Roman times the village was a small settlement where, among other things, clay pipes were made.

Further on you will pass Nieuwenbroek Castle. The beautiful white building was built around 1560. The oldest part is an L-shaped house with beautiful stepped gables. The castle is surrounded by a wide moat. Another beautiful castle is De Borcht, also called Kasteel d\\\'Erp. This brick building with its beautiful side wings is also surrounded by a moat. Next to De Borcht Castle you will find the Kasteelmolen, a water mill from 1700 that has been completely restored.

Oelespot Restaurant is located just outside Venlo near the German border. The cafe-restaurant is surrounded by the Maas-Schwalm-Nette border park: a vast nature reserve that unites Dutch and German natural beauty. Such as the car-free Brachter Wald, the former largest ammunition depot in Western Europe. Oelespot is located in the old bottling plant of the former Abbey Ulingheide. Instead of Trappist liqueur, the tastiest dishes are now being made here, such as various pancake sandwiches and salads. When the weather is nice, you can enjoy your drink on the striking and cozy terrace.
