A beautiful, varied, and flat 8km walk. Expansive landscapes, along the water and through the forest. A great starting and ending point is Graefenthal Abbey, where there's also ample parking.

Anyone planning to use the Niers hiking trail should definitely check the Niers water level before setting out. Above a water level of 1m (Goch gauge), the Niers hiking trail is flooded in many places.

There is no continuous hiking trail along the Niers, and unfortunately, no cycle path either. With the help of the government in Düsseldorf, efforts are currently being made from Viersen to organize this somehow. However, there are 17 municipalities along the Niers, and not all of them are particularly interested in a Niers cycle path. Unfortunately.
