If you travel to Thorn you must stop at this pancake bakery. A great selection from sweet to savory crepes. Good coffee, delicious macchiato and very nice staff. Really great!

Beech Avenue Between Thorn and Kessenich

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful avenue on a small street connecting Dutch Thorn and Belgian Kessenich. There is car traffic, but mostly this does not get the upper hand.

Ferry President Willy Claes

Highlight • Structure

Free ferry for pedestrians and cyclists. The maximum capacity is 12 people, so on busy days you may have to wait a while. Don't forget to leave a small tip for the skipper!

St. Michael's Church (Sint-Michaëlskerk), Thorn

Highlight • Religious Site

The church was mostly built in the 14th century and replaced an older building, of which the westwork and crypt remain. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the church received its current baroque furnishings.
