On days when there is the weekly market, it might be a bit crowded. Nevertheless, a visit is worthwhile every day and in every season. The old houses around the market square form a beautiful backdrop.

Lake Venekoten

Highlight • Lake

The bike path between Venekotensee and Schwalm is perhaps the more attractive one, but on the other hand it is no less beautiful.

May 17, 2023,Brüggen - NSG Elmpter Schwalmbruch, Roermond, Maasaue, Herten/NL, Wacholderheide

On day 2, it was again very cold in the morning today, we drove through the NSG Elmpter Schwalmbruch in the direction of Roermond. The versatile nature reserve offers pure nature, forests, wetlands, lakes and ponds as well as juniper heath...... Cyclists and hikers get their money's worth here.
