Hariksee (Harik Lake)

Highlight • Lake

Simply beautiful, on foot (premium hiking trail W3), but also by bike. There are great places to stop for a break and pedal boat rental to take the Patschel across the lake.

Borner Lake

Highlight • Lake

I've been on the hiking trails between Niederkrüchten and Brüggen on Lake Born several times and I've always enjoyed taking a break here. Others have already written a lot of good things about the beauty of the lake and the landscape. I can only agree there.

The Schwalm at Borner Mill

Highlight • River

The Borner Mill in the municipality of Brüggen was a water mill with three undershot water wheels at times. It is located on the right side of the Schwalm in the district of Born in the municipality of Brüggen in the Viersen district.
The history of the mill is a bit too long for here, please read it on the following website or on Wikipedia

January 3, 2026,03.01.2026 Wa.Wa.We. Zwei-Seen-Runde: Borner See und Hariksee
Today, despite the cold wind and occasional sleet, I hiked the Water.Wander.Welt. Premium hiking trail No. 3, the Two Lakes Loop.

From the parking area in Born, I followed the hiking trail past Koppelbenden to the Borner Mill and the Schwalm River.

Today we tried again after the mishap on the last hike. This attempt was a complete success. The hike was not long but very varied. Among other things, there were a lot of gnarled trees in a larger forest. We have photographed a small selection. I can only recommend this short but nice hike. But please not on the weekend, …

A great round with lots of forest and water to unwind 🩵💫

Today I went in the direction of Brüggen, more precisely Born and I got a route from wa-wa-we.eu/de
WasserWanderWelt picked out, along the Schwalm.


Great to walk but on the holiday it often alternated between mass tourism and complete loneliness. A road has to be crossed twice. Otherwise you always pass the water, walk through the forest or through fields. …

Beautiful route. 💚
Lots of greenery, water and birds. Everything from forests, meadows, swamps and fields.
Highly recommended.

The water trails are fun at any time of the year. Today we were on the short route 3 in a lot of wind.

This was already my second route of the day. And honestly? Last Sunday, I ran the 23 kilometers here. Back then, I didn't think I'd be returning to this area so soon. This time with a slightly different starting point, a bit further along than last time, which gave the route a completely different experience.
