The Oude IJssel (because that's what the Issel is called here) meanders beautifully along here, before the Aa-Strang flows into the Oude IJssel a few hundred meters further on in Ulft.

The wooden benches were made from the branches of an old tree that fell victim to a storm. The tree trunk was left standing as a natural monument. Wood carvings are found on the back of the trunk.

Rough asphalt, a bit uneven, but only 1 km long. Shouldn't be a problem.

The Catholic Church of St. Peter and Paul in Werth is a single-nave, neo-Gothic brick building with a square facade tower, a high spire, and four polygonal corner turrets. This church was built in 1886 on a hill where Werth Castle once stood in the Middle Ages. Therefore, the church is clearly visible from afar.

This mill is a type of gallery windmill with a stone tower, also known as a tower windmill. Whether the tower was once a defensive tower from 1420 or was built around 1480 has not been proven to this day. However, it is certain that the interior technology dates back to 1554. This makes this mill one of the oldest with its historic milling technology still fully intact! The wooden milling mechanism is still well preserved on seven floors. The cap and its blades are turned into the wind by a churning device inside the mill. Until 1935, the mill was powered solely by the historic wind turbine on the top floors. After that, a diesel engine and electricity were added as power sources. Some of these devices can still be seen on the lower floors. The stone tower belonged to the Prince of Salm until 1965, and the milling facility was operated by the last millers, Dietrich Sterneborg and Bernhard Resing. Later, the mill belonged to the Borken district and, since 1994, to the town of Isselburg. Since 1995, it has been managed by the Werth 1986 e.V. local history association, which also offers regular tours. (Source: Sign on the mill) Currently, however, public access is prohibited for health reasons (due to toxic wood stain, perhaps).
