Baroque church

You drive into the famous Achterhoek scenic landscape with its fields, meadows and hedgerows. It is wonderful to cycle here, the Achterhoek is never boring! Zwilbroek/Zwillbrock is a hamlet that is bisected by the border. In the German part is the St. Francis Church from 1720. It is the best preserved Baroque church in Münsterland.
Piepermolen
A little later you drive through the Zwillbrocker Venn, one of the oldest nature reserves in Germany. Striking: this is the northernmost breeding area for flamingos in Europe, you can spot them between March and June. You will also cycle past the Piepermolen, a striking flour mill from 1796. The monumental mill has nothing to do with potatoes, but takes its name from the family that owned it between 1907 and 1965.
