Description

Very beautiful forest walk along the winding stream Rode Beek. Sometimes you walk high on steep slopes, sometimes alongside the stream. The walk runs on the border of the Netherlands and Germany on the edges of National Park De Meinweg. Very good area for observing woodpeckers. You can see five species: črna žolna, veliki detel, srednji detel, mali detel and zelena žolna. Also many other forest birds such as kalin, Sršenar, krivokljun, krokar, pogorelček, črnoglavi muhar and sivi muhar.

Nederlands: Zeer mooie boswandeling langs de kronkelende Rode Beek. Soms loop je op steile hellingen en ligt de beek diep beneden je, soms loop je direct langs de beek. De wandeling loopt op de grens van Nederland en Duitsland aan de randen van Nationaal Park De Meinweg. Het gebied is zeer goed voor het observeren van spechten. Je kunt vijf soorten zien: črna žolna, veliki detel, srednji detel, mali detel en zelena žolna. Ook veel andere bosvogels zoals kalin, Sršenar, krivokljun, krokar, pogorelček, črnoglavi muhar and sivi muhar.

Access

De Meinweg National Park is located east of Roermond on the border of the Netherlands and Germany. This walk is not a circular walk, so you have to walk the route there and back. But the route along the Rode Beek is so beautiful that it is more than worth it to walk it twice. The walk starts at the parking lot at Vlodrop station. From there, the route as indicated on the map is 3.5 km one way and therefore 7 km there and back. You can also start from the parking lot at the Dalheimer Mühle in Germany, then the walk is 2 km shorter in total. Click on a P in the map for directions to the parking lot where you want to start.

Nederlands: Nationaal Park De Meinweg ligt ten oosten van Roermond op de grens van Nederland en Duitsland. Deze wandeling is geen rondwandeling, dus je moet de route heen en terug lopen. Maar het traject langs de Rode Beek is zo fraai dat het meer dan de moeite waard is het traject heen en terug te lopen. De wandeling start bij de parkeerplaats bij station Vlodrop. Vanaf daar is de route zoals die is aangegeven op de kaart 3,5 km enkele reis en dus 7 km heen en terug. Je kunt ook starten vanaf de parkeerplaats bij de Dalheimer Mühle in Duitsland, dan is de wandeling in totaal 2 km korter. Klik op een P in de kaart voor een routebeschrijving naar de parkeerplaats waar je wilt starten.

Comments & Tips

Place to stay

Room in Gitstapper Hof from € 75 for 2 persons

Nationaal Park De Meinweg  >  Netherlands

The converted farm Gitstapper Hof near the village of Etsberg is an ideal place to spend the night near De Meinweg National Park. The farm used to supply the adjacent Gitstapper water mill with wheat for milling. The farm has recently been completely renovated and since this renovation it has been possible to spend the night at this authentic location. Gitstapper Hof is located close to the old water mill and two restaurants, but mainly in a wonderfully quiet area on the fields between the lake Effelderwaldsee and the adjacent forest.

Offer

Double room from €75 per night. Offer: for € 45.00 per person you can book a Burgundian breakfast and a delicious 3-course menu in the evening in the adjacent restaurant Aan De Hoeve.
