Lake view at Neersener Bruch Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Cycling is great fun in the area around the Niers. You can enjoy nature to the fullest. Here the river, there the stream, and every now and then a lake or a pond. I love cycling by the water.

From there, we cycled along the Nordkanal canal and on to Nierssee. We were greeted by some storks along the way 😊. We continued along the Niers River.
