Haus Bey Manor

Highlight • Castle

This small, castle-like building, which is surrounded by hundred-year-old oak and beech trees, is located on the edge of the Krickenbeck lake area. It came into the possession of the Counts of Schaesberg in 1682 and was rebuilt around 1800.

Krickenbecker Lakes and Little De Wittsee

Highlight • Lake

The Krickenbecker See is wonderful to walk around or cycle around. Here and there are the small paths to the fishing piers, which give charming views of the lake.

March 15, 2025,Samstag-Nachmittags Seenrunde...

I haven't had a chance to cycle in the last few days. Today, despite the cold wind, 2 a.m. was a good time. Since the sun was shining, it wasn't a problem. Starting from Haus Wiesengrund, I rode along the railway line to Nettetal-Lobberich at Windmühlenbruch. From there, I followed the Nette to Ferkesbruch. I continued through the fields to …

After dropping our grandchildren off at their parents' house in the morning, I still had time for a bike ride in the afternoon.

Have a nice …

Today we went on a nice ride with Kalle from Wachtendonk. We were on easy-to-use, low-traffic roads the whole time and when we came across a main road, we mostly just crossed it. We were particularly impressed by the beautiful town centers of Wachtendonk and Kempen with their historic houses. But the ride along Nette & Niers also had some …

With Wachtendonk and Kempen you have 2 places on the route that are really worth visiting longer. Also a good route in terms of gastronomy;-)
In between pure Lower Rhine, the Niers, the Krickenbecker lakes and easy to drive paths
