Free access provided for data pertaining to the Niers' bike trail
The Niers Cycling Trail, a 128-kilometer-long signposted route that stretches from Wanlo in Mönchengladbach, through the districts of Viersen and Kleve, to the mouth of the Niers into the Meuse at Gennep in the Netherlands, has received a significant update.
The project "Cross-border Renewal of Information Materials for the Niers Cycling Trail" has been co-financed by the European Union (EU). As a result, the Niers Cycling Trail information material has been reprinted, and the new fold-out map is now available for free at libraries, municipal museums, district administration offices, adult education centers, bicycle shops, and at the reception desk of the Minto (3rd floor).
The new fold-out map, titled "On the Niers Cycling Trail", replaces the three previous flyers and provides a more comprehensive overview of the cycling trail. It contains general information and tourist attractions along the Niers in both German and Dutch.
The development of this map was a collaborative effort between the district of Viersen, the economic development agency of the district of Kleve, the municipality of Gennep, and the city of Mönchengladbach. The project was funded by the Interreg Program Germany-Netherlands and its program partners.
The Niers Cycling Trail offers an experience as it leads cyclists through the Lower Rhine cultural landscape, away from urban centers. Along the trail, you can discover charming old towns, castles, nature reserves, and cultural sites characteristic of the region.
Free fold-out maps and tourist information about the Niers Cycling Trail are commonly available at local tourist information centers (Tourist-Information) in towns along the route, such as Erkelenz, Mönchengladbach, and Geilenkirchen, as well as at bicycle shops or regional tourism offices associated with the Niederrhein (Lower Rhine) area.
For the most detailed and up-to-date information, including the exact start and end points, attraction highlights, and map availability, checking the official Niederrhein tourism websites or local cycling organizations dedicated to the Niers trail is recommended.
