Meinweg route from the Gitstapper Mill

Your route starts at Restaurant Aan De Hoeve, with a delicious piece of Limburg pie on the beautiful terrace. On the Rothenbach you can view the Gitstapper mill from 1377. The watermill is fed by the water of the Rothenbach or Rode stream, which flows further into the Roer. The Rothenbach forms a border between Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia) and the Netherlands (Limburg). There is a shop at the Gitstapperhof that sells its own bread and cake mixes that are processed in the Gitstappermolen. You can easily walk into the Meinweg National Park here. The area is known for its unique terraced landscape. These terraces were created over tens of thousands of years by the erosion of the Meuse and three fault lines in the earth's crust. You walk along dense old forests and stream valleys.
