This varied round trip takes you to our neighbors in the Netherlands for a detour. It starts in Rhede. From here you drive through a beautiful field and meadow landscape across the border. Shortly after you reach the star-shaped Bourtange Fortress. A long break is worthwhile here.

Trail Reviews
Bourtange has been on my list for a long time. Ticked off today ✅ great experience. We drove the Rhede - Bourtange tour... to be found in the "Rad und Tour" from the NOZ issue 11. We added a small detour to the 1000-year-old lime tree without further ado. A cute little round. In Bourtange you should take your time. The fortress has an interesting history. A very nice section was the cycle path directly on the Ems… Recommendation 💯 percent.
It's totally impossible without a video! https://youtu.be/HsefgGY1Js4?si=470gxJVjilFP6dId
We parked our bikes in Bourtange and started walking.
