Fortified city of Gennep
The pleasant town of Gennep is the starting point of this walk. Gennep is a fortified city and you can see that in the town hall, the Martinustoren and the Petershuis, which take you back to earlier times. On the spot where the city wall of Gennep once stood you will now find the Gennep Ceramic Wall. The ceramics in this wall were made by Pieter Arts and they refer to the historic core of Gennep.

The park consists of heathlands, drifting dunes and forests that alternate with each other. From Afferden you cross the Maas with a ferry and then walk further to Vierlingsbeek, where the end of the route is.
